Asteroid 1858, Lobachevskij, was discovered on August 18, 1972 by Ukrainian astronomer Lyudmila V. Zhuravleva at Nauchny, Crimea, Ukraine. It has a period of 4 years, 159 days.
It was named for Russian mathematician Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky (1792-1856), whose last name is sometimes spelled "Lobachevskij" and whose work helped move geometry past the ideas of the ancient Greek Euclid; he has been wrongfully accused of plagiarizing that from the German mathematician and scientist Carl Friedrich Gauss. Lobachevsky also did groundbreaking work on algebraic functions which was independently published later by another mathematician, the German Johann Lejeune Dirichlet, and associated in Russia with Lobachevsky and elsewhere with two other mathematicians, Frenchman Germinal Pierre Dandelin and German Karl Heinrich Gräffe.
