Collection of Problems on Classical Mechanics – Kotkin, Serbo

Posted on April 21, 2022 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book Collection Of Problems In Classical Mechanics
by G. L. Kotkin; V. G. Serbo.

About the book

This collection is meant for physics students. Its contents correspond roughly to the mechanics course in the textbooks by Landau and Lifshitz (I960), Goldstein (1950), or ter Haar (1964). We hope that the reading of this collection will give pleasure not only to students studying mechanics, but also to people who already know it. We follow the order in which the material is presented by Landau and Lifshitz, except that we start using the Lagrangian equations in § 4. The problems in §§ 1-3 can be solved using the Newtonian equations of motion together with the energy, linear momentum and angular momen­tum conservation laws. As a rule, the solution of a problem is not finished with obtaining the required formulae. It is necessary to analyse the results and this is of great interest and by no means a “mechanical” part of the solution. In particular, it is very desirable to study limiting cases. This is useful not only for checking purposes and for an understanding of the solution obtained, but also for a preliminary analysis of the problem which can be used to learn how to find the motion of a system by intuition. It is also very useful to investigate what happens to a solution, if the conditions of the problem are varied. We have, therefore, suggested further problems at the end of several solutions.

Problems in Electrodynamics – Batygin, Toptygin

Posted on April 20, 2022 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book Problems In Electrodynamics by V.V. Batygin; I.N. Toptygin
.

About the book

This book contains about 750 problems on classical electrodynamics and its more important applications, including over 150 problems on the special theory of relativity, and about 70 prob­lems on vector and tensor analysis.
In addition to problems illustrating fundamental concepts and laws of electrodynamics, which can be solved by purely mathematical methods, the collection includes a large number of more complicated problems (these are indicated by asterisks). Some of the solutions involve a considerable amount of effort, while others are purely theoretical in nature and follow from a lecture course on electrodynamics (propagation of waves in anisotropic and gyrotropic media, motion of charged particles in the electro­magnetic field, representation of the electromagnetic field by a set of oscillators, and so on). Finally, there are problems which are concerned with topics which are not well covered by existing texts, for example, interaction of charged particles with matter (Chapter XIII), applications of conservation laws to the analysis of collision processes and particle disintegration (Chapter XI), ferro­magnetic resonance (Chapter VI), and so on. The second part of the book gives answers and solutions to a large number of these problems.
Each section is prefaced by a short theoretical introduction in which the necessary formulae are given. These short introductions do not pretend to be complete; more extensive treat­ments will be found in the books listed in the bibliography.

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

Topics In The Theory Of Random Noise Volumes 1 & 2 – Stratonovich

Posted on April 18, 2022 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see two volume book titled Topics In The Theory Of Random Noise by R. L. Stratonovich.

About the books

The present book, in two volumes, is concerned with a variety of topics which have been left to one side, as it were, but which are nevertheless of great practical importance. In particular, we have in mind problems involving the effects of noise on electronic relays and vacuum- tube oscillators. Recently, there has been increased interest in the oper­ation of switching devices and self-excited systems, not only because of the development of methods of coherent radar detection, but also in connection with such problems as increasing the accuracy of time measurements, designing particle accelerators and computing ma­chines, etc. However, the journal literature in these new fields of statistical radio engineering is hard to penetrate. In the present book, noise in relays and oscillators is studied in an organized fashion, from a rather general point of view. Material that can be found in the literature has been systematized, and the results of some original investigations by the author have been included. The physical treatment of the results obtained may be a bit sketchy, but it seems to us that brevity coupled with wide coverage is justified in this instance, since the rapid growth in the total number of published papers has increased the need for some kind of survey, even one resembling a handbook.

Part I of Volume I is devoted to a review of the mathematical results used later in the book. In many places, it has seemed appropriate, for the sake of brevity, to depart from the usual presentation of the basic concepts and results of probability theory. The reader who is not familiar with this necessary background material can refer to any one of a number of textbooks. Those already acquainted with elementary probability theory will find that Part 1 contains a different treatment of certain well-known topics, in addition to some new results. In fact, Part I ought not to be devoid of interest even to mathematicians, provided, of course, that they make due allowances for the heuristic level of rigor adopted.

In Volume I, Part 2 and in Volume II, we systematically use the methods just enumerated to solve specific problems of statistical radio engineering. At the same time, we try to explain the conditions under which the various methods of analyzing noise phenomena are appli­cable. Perhaps some of the methods are given in more detail than is necessary for immediate applications3but this is done with a view to further development of the tools needed for future work. It is reason­able to expect that the progressively more complicated problems which come up in engineering practice will require the use of progressively more sophisticated methods of analysis. The author will regard his task as accomplished if this book serves in some measure to broaden the theoretical outlook of radio scientists, by helping them master certain methods which they may find novel at first. Although the material given here is intended primarily for specialists in the field of statistical radio engineering, it should also interest scientists working in other fields where similar statistical methods can be profitably used.

The book was translated from Russian by Richard A. Silverman and were published in 1963 and 1967.

Bees – Khalifman

Posted on April 17, 2022 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book Bees by I. Khalifman.

About the book

Today: bee-science is no longer what it used to be. The strict methods of biological analysis on which research has been based have armed experimenters with new facts. Precision technique in experiments and laboratory equipment has allowed deeper penetration into the substance of phenomena and processes. Thanks to this. new knowledge is being accumulated at a rate hitherto unknown. The last discoveries of bee-science are a clear illustration of how the materialistic teaching of Pavlov, merging with Michurin’s teachings in the broad unity of Soviet agrobiology, are enriching theory and showing the way to the transformation of living nature for the benefit of socialist society.

Work on this book was started before the war at an experimental apiary in Zvenigorod, where research in connection with the training of bees was carried out under the direction of Professor A. F. Gubin. But not until 1949 was the book completed at the apiary of the experimental husbandry under the Lenin Academy of Agricultural Science in Gorki Leninskiye.

The illustrations in this edition are original drawings made
by A. Sementsov-Ogiyevsky or drawings by other artists copied by him from various special publications dealing with the biology of bees. The bees represented in the drawings are magnified as compared with the flowers.

The book was translated from Russian (translator’s name is not given) was published in 1951 by Foreign Languages Publishing House

Childhood, Boyhood, Youth – Lev Tolstoi

Posted on April 17, 2022 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the trilogy Childhood, Boyhood, Youth by Lev Tolstoi.

About the book

Leo Tolstoy began his trilogy, Childhood, Boyhood, Youth, in his early twenties. Although he would in his old age famously dismiss it as an ‘awkward mixture of fact and fiction’, generations of readers have not agreed, finding the novel to be a charming and insightful portrait of inner growth against the background of a world limned with extraordinary clarity, grace and colour. Evident too in its brilliant account of a young person’s emerging awareness of the world and of his place within it are many of the stances, techniques and themes that would come to full flower in the immortal War and Peace and Anna Karenina, and in the other great works of Tolstoy’s maturity.

The book was translated from Russian (translator’s name is not mentioned)  and was designed by D. Bisti. The book was published in 1963 by Foreign Languages Publishing House.

Senior Physics 1 and 2

Posted on April 15, 2022 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the two volume book Senior Physics.

Volume 1 of the book was written by I. K. Kikoin and A. K. Kikoin, while Volume 2 was written by B. B. Bukhovtsev, Yu. L. Klimontovich and G. Ya. Myakishev.

About the books

The two books combined cover the most basic aspects of physics at school level. Using examples from daily life they explain various physical principles and laws. Part One of Senior Physics. This part deals mainly with mechanics. Starting with kinematics and statics we take a look at dynamical aspects of motion. The later part deal with various conservation laws in mechanics and their importance. Second part of Senior Physics. This part deals with thermodynamics, molecular physics and fundamentals of electrodynamics.

The books were translated from Russian by Natalia Wadhwa and were published in 1987 (Vol 1) and 1988 (Vol 2) by Mir Publishers.

PS. I had to spent a large amount of time and effort to get these books in their present state. The original scan was of very low resolution and insanely warped. To make the books readable I had to manually clean and fix each page separately and some needed pixel level editing. Though the results are ok (not satisfactory) they still have a very large file size both files are 100+ MB, the original is about 50MB. Till we get a better scan, hold onto these.

Foma Gordeyev by Maxim Gorky

Posted on April 14, 2022 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book Foma Gordeyev by Maxim Gorky.

About the book

“Foma Gordeyev is a big book—not only is the breadth of Russia in it, but the expanse of life. Yet, though in each land, in this world of marts and exchanges, this age of trade and traffic, passionate figures rise up and demand of life what its fever is, in ‘Foma Gordeyev’ is a Russian who so rises up and demands…

One lays the book down sick at heart—sick for life with all its ‘lyings and its lusts.’ But it is a healthy book. So fearful is its portrayal of social disease, so ruthless its stripping of the painted charms from vice, that its tendency cannot but be strongly for good. It is a goad, to prick sleeping human consciences awake and drive them into the battle for humanity.” — Jack London

The book was translated from Russian by Margaret Wettlin with illustrations by Kukrynisky. The book was published as a part of Library of Selected Soviet Literature series in 1950 by Foreign Languages Publishing House.

Electrical Machines (Volumes 1 & 2) – Ivanov-Smolensky

Posted on April 13, 2022 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the two volume set (out of three) Electrical Machines by A. Ivanov-Smolensky.

About the book

The book is in three volumes as fol­lows.
Volume I: Preface. Introduction. Transformers. A General Theory of Electrical Machines.
Volume II: Classification of Electrical Machines. Mechanical, Hydraulic and Thermal Analysis and Design. Induction Machi­nes. Synchronous Machines.
Volume III: D.C. and Commutator Machines. Tran­sients in Electrical Machines.
The book is intended for college and university students majoring in elec­trical-machine theory and design. It will also be useful to electrical power engineers.

The subject matter in the text is presented in the sequence
traditionally followed in the Soviet Union. It starts with
transformers, passes on to induction and synchronous
machines, d.c. machines, and concludes with a.c. commutator machines. Separate chapters are devoted to a general
theory of electrical machines, machine design and engineerIng, and transients in electrical machinery.

The electromagnetic processes that take place in electrical
machines are examined from the view-point of electro-
mechanical and mechanoelectrical energy conversion. With
such an approach, it has been possible to extend the mathematics used to both conventional and any other conceivable types of electrical machines.

In addition to electromagnetic processes, consideration
is given to the thermal, aerodynamic, hydraulic and mechanical processes associated with electromechanical and
mechanoelectric energy conversion.

In view of the importance attached to the above accompanying processes, the text discusses general aspects of
machine design and engineering.

Unfortunately we do not have Volume 3, if anyone has access to it, please post links.

The book was translated from Russian by Boris V Kuznetsov and was published in 1982 by Mir Publishers.
