Electrical Machines Parts 1 & 2 by M. Kostenko; L. Piotrovsky

Electrical Machines is a comprehensive two-volume work on the theory, design and operation of alternating-current electrical machines. The first volume covers the general principles underlying these machines, including their construction, winding arrangements, electromotive forces, magnetising forces, inductive reactances, heating and cooling. It establishes the theoretical foundations needed to understand the behaviour of electrical machines under different operating conditions.

The second volume examines the principal types of alternating-current machines in greater detail. It covers synchronous machines, including generators, motors and synchronous condensers, their characteristics, parallel operation, short-circuit behaviour and oscillations. It also discusses induction machines, addressing their performance, torque and power, starting methods, speed control and special operating conditions. The final section deals with alternating-current commutator machines, including single-phase and polyphase motors and generators, as well as cascade connections.

Together, the two volumes provide a systematic treatment of the principles and practical operation of synchronous, induction and commutator machines. The work combines theoretical analysis with the study of machine characteristics and operating conditions, making it a reference for students and engineers studying electrical engineering.

The Theory Of Analytic Functions – A Brief Course by A. I. Markushevich

This is a textbook in the theory of analytic functions with coverage adequate for the syllabus of physico-mathematical faculties of universities. Numerous worked-out examples of the general ideas and methods are given. A small part of the material is not obligatory and only supplements the basic course. The interested reader may turn to the bibliography on the subject provided at the end of the book.

In preparing this textbook, I have drawn extensively on my other book, The Theory of Analytic Functions [English translation: A.I. Markushevich, Theory of Functions of a Complex Variable, 3 vols., Prentice-Hall, Englewood Cliffs, N.J., 1965-71].

Translated from the Russian by Eugene Yankovsky

About the Author

Aleksei Ivanovich Markushevich (1908–1979) received his degree of Doctor of Physico-Mathematical Sciences from Moscow State University in 1944. He served as a professor at Moscow University and became a Full Member of the Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of the USSR in 1967. He was also First Deputy Minister of Education in the Russian Federation.

Professor Markushevich’s research covered a wide range of topics in pedagogy, the history of science, and mathematics. His main interest was the theory of functions of a complex variable. He authored many mathematics textbooks, popular-science booklets, and numerous articles on the history of function theory, the theory of entire functions, and the theory of conformal mapping. His comprehensive course, Theory of Functions of a Complex Variable, was published in the United States by Prentice-Hall in three volumes. Professor Markushevich was Chief Editor of the Encyclopedia of Elementary Mathematics and the Children’s Encyclopedia.

Theory Of Heat Treatment Of Metals by I. Novikov

The book systematises the theoretical principles of heat treatment of metals and alloys. Its main emphasis is the study of changes in the structure and properties of metallic materials upon thermal treatment. Variations in the structure and properties (mainly mechanical) upon quenching, tempering, ageing, annealing with phase transformations, recrystallisation and pre-recrystallisation annealing, homogenising, stress-relief annealing, chemical heat treatment, and thermo-mechanical treatment are analysed in much detail.

The book is written at a high scientific level but in a clear language comprehensible for higher-school students. The author has used his many years of experience in lecturing at the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys. The book is intended as a textbook for students of metallurgical and mechanical engineering institutes and may be of use for engineers engaged in physical metallurgy, heat treatment of metals, plastic metal working, casting, and welding.

Prof. I. I. Novikov, born in 1926, finished his studies at the Moscow Institute of Non-ferrous Metals and Gold in 1948, where he worked with Acad. A. A. Boehvar. He received his Cand. Sc. degree in 1951 and his D.Sc. degree in 1964 for original research work in the strength and plasticity of alloys in solid-liquid state. From 1965, he has headed the Chair of Physical Metallurgy of Non-ferrous and Rare Metals at the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys.

His published works (around 2001) include some monographs, such as Hot-shortness of Non-ferrous Metals and Alloys(1966), Corrosion in Alloys (1966), Diagrams of Aluminum Alloys (1973), and higher-school textbooks The Theory of Heat Treatment of Metals (1974) and Imperfections in Crystal Structure of Metals (1975).

At present, he is engaged in studies of superplasticity, substructure of cast alloys, and development of high-strength casting aluminium alloys.

Electrical Engineering by A.S. Kasatkin; M.V. Memstov

This is an English translation of the fourth Russian edition, revised and enlarged in comparison with the previous editions to bring it in line with the requirements of the new curriculum on electrical engineering, and also to embody the experience accumulated from the use of the previous editions.

The book has been written to cover the course in electrical engineering as taught in the Soviet Union to students majoring in other departments. It is largely based on the third edition (1974) of the book by the late Professor A.S. Kasatkin, and also on the lectures his co-author has been reading at the Moscow Physical Engineering Institute for a long time now.

The course includes basic electricity and theory, design, principles of operation, characteristics, parameters, and applications of the most-used electrical circuits and apparatus.

Although no approach to teaching the subject can afford to be wholly non-mathematical, every effort has been made to restrict the use of mathematics to cases where a mathematical approach to the problem is either unavoidable or actively helpful to the student.

On the whole, the book is intended as a framework, sound and accurate within its limits, into which more advanced and detailed work can be fitted.

Fundamentals Of Mathematical Analysis Parts 1, 2 by V.A. Ilyin; E.G. Poznyak

 

About Book 1

The book is based on the lectures delivered by the authors at the Physics Department of Moscow University. In the course of systematic exposition of the material, the authors gave prominence to the most important concepts and theorems, the most significant of the latter being called fundamental theorems. The authors tried to give the formulations of new concepts and theorems not long before their direct application. The sequence of presentation of the material corresponds to that accepted at the Physics Department of Moscow University. The chapter “Preliminary Information on the Main Concepts of Mathematical Analysis,” in particular, comes before the exposition of the systematic course because this chapter deals with some very important physical problems and discusses mathematical means for their solution. Thus, it becomes clear from the very beginning what problems and concepts constitute the subject matter of mathematical analysis. Our lecturing experience shows that such a preliminary elucidation of the range of problems treated in the course of the analysis makes it appreciably easier for the students to understand the basic mathematical concepts.

The authors paid due attention to the ever-increasing role of computations and methods of approximation; that is why they tried to use algorithmic form in proving theorems and carrying out calculations wherever it was possible. In Chap. 12, in particular, the main emphasis is laid on the algorithmic aspect of the methods of approximation, and only then are the methods substantiated.

In addition to the main part of the material, the authors consider it possible to include some sections given in small type.

About Book 2

This book is based on lectures delivered by the authors at Moscow State University over several years. As in Part 1, the authors aim to present the material systematically, highlighting the most important notations and theorems. In addition to the core curriculum, the book explores several important questions that play a significant role in various branches of modern mathematics and physics, such as the theory of measure and Lebesgue integrals, Hilbert spaces and self-adjoint linear operators, Fourier series regularisation, and the theory of differential forms in Euclidean spaces.

Some topics, such as the conditions for term-wise differentiation and integration of functional sequences and series, variable changes in multiple integrals, and Green’s and Stokes’ formulas, are treated more generally and under weaker assumptions than usual. The book also addresses computational mathematics, including approximate methods for evaluating multiple integrals and calculating function values from Fourier coefficients.

The material, along with Part 1 (Volume 1), constitutes a comprehensive university course in mathematical analysis. The text allows for some flexibility, as chapters on advanced topics such as Lebesgue integrals, Hilbert spaces, and related supplements can be skipped without affecting comprehension of the main material.

Translated from the Russian by Vladimir Shokurov

Geotectonics by V. V. Beloussov

This book explores the intricate discipline of geotectonics, which holds a unique position within the geological sciences. Geotectonics serves as a generalising branch of geology, integrating well-established facts with broad hypotheses that connect the Earth’s deep interior to its surface. While many concepts in this field are grounded in scientific evidence, others remain hypothetical, reflecting the evolving nature of our understanding.

The book delves into the interpretation of tectonic processes, highlighting how these interpretations shift over time, influenced not only by advancements in geological knowledge but also by related sciences such as geophysics and geochemistry. By synthesising results from various Earth sciences, geotectonics transcends its geological roots to encompass broader geophysical and geonomic perspectives.

Recognising the challenges inherent in creating a comprehensive geotectonics textbook—given the fluidity of ideas and the interdisciplinary nature of the field—the author has endeavoured to align closely with the syllabus of Soviet university courses. The focus is on observable processes in crustal structure formation, while also incorporating generalisations and hypothetical ideas to guide further research.

The book is structured to aid students familiar with structural geology and tectonophysics principles, providing both foundational knowledge and advanced insights. It includes a curated list of key sources and cited literature to support further exploration and research, making it a valuable resource for both students and postgraduate researchers.

While the author acknowledges the inherent limitations and the likelihood of future revisions, this book stands as a significant contribution to the study of geotectonics, offering both a study aid and a gateway to deeper exploration of the Earth’s tectonic mysteries.

Translated from the revised 1976 Russian edition by H. Campbell Creighton, V. Agranat, and V. Shiffer

Diseases Of The Ear, Throat And Nose by V. T. Palchun; N. L. Voznesensky

The aim of this textbook is to provide a practical approach to the subject matter. A coherent step-by-step description of the medical examination of organs is presented, allowing students to closely follow and master the techniques. The endoscopic picture, its interpretation, and the complete diagnostic picture of diseases are detailed. Methods of local and general therapy have been given major emphasis.

Review questions and problems (case studies) are included at the end of each section to help students consolidate the material.

The textbook also includes over 80 black-and-white and colour illustrations that have been carefully chosen and limited in number due to its concise format.

In brief, the material covered is organised as follows:
First, the essentials of clinical anatomy and physiology are explained, followed by methods of examination of the ear, nose, and throat. Next, the general principles of therapy and nursing are given, followed by descriptions of the nosological types of disorders. After this, a discussion on the establishment of diagnosis is presented, and the treatment of the given diseases is described. Instructions on the preparation for surgery on specific organs and postoperative management are included.

Separate sections deal sequentially with disorders of the nose and the paranasal sinuses, the throat and oesophagus, the larynx, trachea and bronchi, and the ear. A special section is devoted to tumours and their classification (tumours of the respiratory tract, benign tumours, malignant tumours, and tumours of the ear), as well as specific diseases (tuberculosis, scleroma, syphilis).

This book is intended as an introductory course on diseases of the ear, nose, and throat. Knowledge of the essentials of this specialty will also contribute to the formation of clinical thinking in all other medical disciplines.

Translated from the Russian by Alexander Rosinkin
