Electronic Boy From The Portmanteau

Posted on October 28, 2021 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book Electronic Boy From The Portmanteau by Yevgevy Veltistov.

About the book

Boys and Girls,

You’ve probably guessed what Electronic is? Right, he’s a boy-robot! But the cream of the joke is that, by sheer chance, he turns out to be the live double of a schoolboy, Sergei Cheesekov. They meet and make friends – and immediately fantastic and funny adventures happen to them both. Sergei quickly gains fame as a World Champion runner, an animal-trainer, and an honor pupil at school – but that’s enough. Read the book yourselves, and join Sergei and Electronic at a math lesson in a Moscow school, see the circus with them, and visit the cybernetics laboratory of Professor Gromov. Finally, when the cat’s out of the bag, and their secret is discovered – join the children who teach Electronic to laugh. Wouldn’t it be fun if you had a friend like Electronic?

About the Author

Yevgeny Serafimovich Veltistov was a Soviet writer and screenwriter, who wrote a series of science fiction tales for young readers.

He was born into the family of a military engineer in 1934. In the second year of the Great Patriotic War, he came to study at school. There were few books. There are even fewer notebooks. I wanted to read very much. When asked who you will become, he replied: “A seller of children’s books. To read everything.”
Then he changed his mind. I decided to become a journalist. It was a firm decision. Graduated from the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov in 1956. He began to work – first in newspapers, then – as a department editor in the popular magazine “Ogonyok”. He was in charge of feuilletons and all sorts of things that were printed on the last pages.

He brought the manuscript of the first book to the Children’s Literature publishing house. Soon she saw the light. Others saw the light behind it.

from goodreads page

The book was translated from Russian by Gladys Evans and was illustrated and designed by Y. Krasny. The book was published in 1969 by Progress.

The Shortest Lines (Little Mathematics Library) – Lyusternik

Posted on October 27, 2021 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see another book from the Little Mathematics Library titled The Shortest Lines Variational Problems by Lyusternik.

About the book

A pamphlet based on lectures read by the author to Moscow University’s schools mathematics club. Deals in an elementary way with a number of variational problems, such as finding the shortest curve uniting two points on a given surface. Suitable for readers with “O” level mathematics.

This book is an attempt to examine from the elementary
point of view a number of so-called variational problems.
These problems deal with quantities dependent on a curve,
and a curve for which this quantity is either maximum or
minimum is sought. Such are, for example, problems in
which it is required to find the shortest of all the curves connecting two points on a surface, or among all the closed curves of a given length on a plane it is necessary to find that one which bounds the maximum area, and so on.

The material of this book was basically presented by the author in his lectures at a school mathematical circle of the
Moscow State University. The contents of the first lecture
(Secs. I.1-III.3) in the main coincides with the contents of
Geodesic Lines, published by the author in 1940. Only the knowledge of elementary mathematics is required to master this course. Moreover, the first chapters are quite elementary. Others while not requiring special knowledge demand a greater aptitude for mathematical perusal and meditation.

The entire material of this book may be considered as an
elementary introduction to the calculus of variations (a
branch of mathematics dealing with problems of finding the
functional minimum or maximum). The calculus of variations does not enter into the first concentric cycle of the higher mathematics course that is studied, for example, in
technical colleges. In our opinion, however, for a student
who begins to study higher mathematics, it is not useless
to look further ahead.

The book was translated from Russian by Yuri Ermolyev and was published in 1983.

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

Posted on October 25, 2021 by The Mitr

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.

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

Posted on October 24, 2021 by The Mitr

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.

Physics Of The 20th Century History And Outlook

Posted on October 22, 2021 by The Mitr

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.
