Geometrical Constructions With Compasses Only (Little Mathematics Library) – Kostovskii

In this post, we will see the book from the series Little Mathematics Library titled Geometrical Constructions With Compasses Only by A. Kostovskii.

About the book

This booklet is intended for a wide circle of readers. It should help teachers and pupils of senior classes of secondary schools to acquaint themselves in greater detail with geometrical constructions carried out by compasses alone. It can serve as a teaching aid in school mathematical clubs. The booklet can also be used by students of physical and mathematical departments of universities and teachers’ training colleges to deepen their knowledge of elementary mathematics.

The book was translated from the Russian by Janna Suslovich and was first published by Mir Publishers in 1986. There is a Topics in Mathematics version of this book too.

A big thank you to @4evercla6 for this and two more books from LML series. See the comment in the LML taking stock post. We will see them in the next couple of posts.

Now only The Euler Characteristic by Yu. A. Shaskin remains from the list!

Systems of Linear Equations (Little Mathematics Library) – Skornyakov

In this post, we will see the book from the series Little Mathematics Library titled Systems of Linear Equations by L. A. Skornyakov.

About the book

The book contains a complete exposition of the theory of systems of linear equations employing only elementary operations on matrices. The method of complete mathematical induction is, formally, not used here. However, in some cases it is hidden behind the words “etc.”. Each section is followed by exercises. The main purpose of the exercises is to give the reader an opportunity to test his mastery of the material. The book is intended for a wide circle of readers, including pupils of senior classes of secondary schools, who are interested in mathematics.

The book was translated from Russian by Eugene Yankovsky and was published in 1988 by Mir.

A big thank you to @4evercla6 for this and two more books from LML series. See the comment in the LML taking stock post. We will see them in the next couple of posts.

The Dog Family / These Are All Dogs / ఇవన్నీ కుక్కలే – Akimushkin

In this post, we will see the book The Dog Family aka These Are All Dogs by Igor Akimuskhin.

About the book

Wolves, jackals, and foxes all belong to one
family, the family of dogs. They are found on all the
continents except Antarctica. They live in the forest
and on the steppes, in the mountains and on the
plains, in the tundra and in the desert.

The legs of animals in this family are long and
well-shaped. The paws have strong, blunt claws. All
the animals run fast, some at a speed of 65
kilometers an hour!

The hair is thick and of various shades of gray or
red. Some of the animals are striped. One of the
African jackals is called the striped jackal. Some of
the animals are spotted. The African wild dog has
black, white and yellow spots. This is the only wild
animal that has hair of three colors.

The smallest animal in the dog family is the
fennec. It is like a kitten. The largest is the wolf. Big
wolves weigh 80 kilograms. Just imagine that!

This book will tell you about animals that are
close relatives of the dog.

The book was published by Raduga in 1976 translated from the Russian by Tracy Kuehu. Another print of the book by Malysh in 1979 has translation from Russian by E. Yankowskaya. The two translations have slight differences in the tone.

The fantastic illustrations are by A. Keleinikov.

There is a Telugu version of the book also, perhaps it was translated in other Indic languages also.

All credits to Guptaji, the Raduga version was from books donated by Mrs Purva Bharadwaj and Mrs. Anupama Jha.

About the book

This collection of problems in physical properties of crystals, first published in 1972, has survived a rigorous test of time and proved its merits for lecturers and students at the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys. The problems were compiled on the basis of university textbooks, special monographs, and journal articles. The book is intended for graduate and post-graduate students, as well as for engineers dealing with practical applications of crystals. It has been translated into German and French.

N. V. Perelomova, Cand.Sc. (Phys. and Math.), is a lecturer at the Chair of Crystallography of the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys. She is the author of the monograph “Acoustic Crystals” and of about 50 published works in crystal physics. M. M. Tagieva, Cand.Sc. (Phys. and Math.), is a senior instructor at the Chair of Crystallography of the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys, the author of 32 scientific papers.

The book was translated from Russian by and was published in .

Many thanks to CN for making this book available, may she RIP.

Physics Of The 20th Century History And Outlook

In this post, we will see the book Physics Of The 20th Century History And Outlook
edited by Ye. P. Velikhov, A. S. Borovik-Romanov, I. M. Khalatnikov, S. R. Mikulinsky, A. T. Grigor’yan, V. P. Vizgin.

About the book

To describe all the most import­ant problems that motivated the physics of the 20th century would require many volumes. What the authors have sought to achieve in this book is to con­centrate on the more funda­mental issues and to trace their historical development. Whilst no aspect of modern physics is uninteresting, the topics covered here are certain to fascinate any reader, whether trained in physics or not. The achievements and promise of exciting fields — atomic physics, astrophysics, quantum theory, elementary particle physics, quantum elec­tronics, and nonlinear physics — are covered.

No attempt has been made to restrain the authors to a dry presentation of the inception of a particular theme, they have striven to enlighten the logic of the evolution of each concept and foresee what direction the future may take.

The book was translated from Russian by Alexander Repyev and was published in 1987 by Mir.

Geometry – Shuvalova

In this post, we will see the book Geometry by E. Z. Shuvalova.

About the book

The book provides a comprehensive treatment of basic geometrical concepts for high schools. The first chapter deals with properties of triangles. Chapter 2 gives a comprehensive introduction to  structure of solid geometry. The chapter on parallelism in space details the concept in various contexts. Next three chapters dal with space, vectors and planes and their properties including  dihedral and polyhedral angles. The last few chapters treat solids, polyhedrons and their properties such as areas volumes and sections by planes. There are worked problems and exercises for each chapter.

The book was translated from Russian by Leonid Levant and was published in 1980 by Mir.

Computational Mathematics – Danilina, Dubrovskaya, Kvasha, Smirnov

In this post, we will see the book Computational Mathematics by N. I. Danilina; N. S. Dubrovskaya; O. P. Kvasha; G. L. Smirnov.

About the book

The rapid development of computer engineering in recent times has led to ail expansion of application of mathematics. Quantitative methods have been introduced into practically every sphere of human activity. The use of computers in the economy requires skilled specialists who have a command of the methods of computa­tional mathematics.

Computational mathematics is one of the principal disciplines necessary for the preparation of specialists for various branches of economy. By studying it students acquire theoretical knowledge and practical skill to solve various applied problems with the aid of mathemati­cal models and numerical methods that are realized on a computer.

This study aid assumes that the reader is aware of the elementary concepts of higher mathematics, i.e. contin­uity, the derivative and the integral. It covers three large divisions of mathematics: “Algebraic Methods” (Ch. 2-6), “Numerical Methods of Analysis” (Ch. 1, 7, 8) and “Numerical Methods of Solving Differential Equa­tions” (Ch. 1), 10).
The theoretical material presented is illustrated by nu­merous examples. Each chapter is concluded by exer­cises for independent work.

The book was translated from Russian by Irene Aleksanova and was published in 1988 by Mir.
