Physics for Everyone – Motion and Heat
Book 1- Physical Bodies
Book 2 – Molecules
Book 3 – Electrons
Book 4 – Photons and Nuclei
The book covers topics devoted to the application the electronic computers to the solutions of problems in electro-mechanics. It is expected that the reader is already familiar with computer programming, and algorithmic languages. The author’s objective is to teach the students how to formulate equations for most of the problems in the analysis of the energy conversion processes in electric machines and reduce them to a convenient form for their solution by computers. Much consideration is given to analysis of the obtained solutions. Three chapters are devoted to the synthesis of electric machines and the computer-aided design system; the latter being the highest achievements in electro-mechanics.
Primary attention is focused on differential equations of electro-mechanical energy conversion, which form the most general and rigorous mathematical model for describing both transient and steady-state modes of operation . Polynomial models are also given
due treatment.The present book is designed for students and postgraduates studying electric machines and also for electromechanical and power engineers engaged in the design and service of electric, machinery.
The book was translated from the Russian by P. S. Ivanov and was first published by Mir in 1984.

Piskunov’s book is considered to be a classic.
This text is designed as a course of mathematics for higher technical schools. It contains many worked examples that illustrate the theoretical material and serve as models for solving problems. The first two chapters “Number. Variable. Function” and “Limit. Continuity of a Function” have been made as short as possible. Some of the questions that are usually discussed in these chapters have been put in the third and subsequent chapters without loss of continuity. This has made it possible to take up very early the basic concept of differential calculus—the derivative— which is required in the study of technical subjects. Experience has shown this arrangement of the material to be the best and most convenient for the student.
A large number of problems have been included, many of which illustrate the interrelationships of mathematics and other disciplines. The problems are specially selected (and in sufficient number) for each section of the course thus helping the student to master the theoretical material. To a large extent, this makes the use of a separate book of problems unnecessary and extends the usefulness of this text as a course of mathematics for self-instruction.
This was a long due.
This was the message that I got from vivisimo:
It’s nice to know that a member(s) from Library.nu are continue contributing to the ebook community.
I have scanned N. Piskunov – Differential and Integral Calculus 1969, and intended to post on LNU, but too bad, the site’s now closed.
I think your site is the best place to post this book, a MIR books’ site.
The book is 20MB size, in DJVU, 600dpi, OCRed, no cover:
Thanks for posting this vivisimo…
The book was translated from the Russian by G. Yankovsky and was published by Mir in 1969. Subsequently it was also republished as a single and two volume format.

We now come to Lobachevskian Geometry by A. S. Smogorzhevsky in the Little Mathematics Library series.
As the title of the book suggests the book is about one of the non-Euclidean geometries viz. the one by Lobachevsky. The back cover of the book says:
The author, the late Alexander Smogorzhevsky, D.Sc., was professor of mathematics at Kiev Polytechnical Institute and a specialist in Lobachevskian geometiy. He began his career as a school teacher in the Vinnitsa Region of the Ukraine, and later lectured at Kiev Polytechnical Institute for nearly forty years. He published over a hundred papers, both of original research and of a popularizing character, many of them devoted to non-Euclidean geometry: The Theory of Geometrical Constructions in Lobachevskian Space, On Some Plane Curves in Lobachevskian Geometry, and Lobachevsky’s Basic Ideas, to name a few.
And the Author’s Note before the book begins says:
The aim of this book is to acquaint the reader with the fundamentals of Lobachevsky’s non-Euclidean geometry.
The famous Russian mathematician N. I. Lobachevsky was an outstanding thinker, to whom is credited one of the greatest mathematical discoveries, the construction of an original geometric
system distinct from Euclid’s geometry. The reader will find
a brief biography of N. I. Lobachevsky in Sec. I.Euclidean and Lobachevskian geometries have much in common,
differing only in their definitions, theorems and formulas as
regards the parallel-postulate. To clarify the reasons for these
differences we must consider how the basic geometric concepts
originated and developed, which is done in Sec. 2.Apart from a knowledge of school plane geometry and trigonometry reading our pamphlet calls for a knowledge of the transformation known as inversion, the most important features of which are reviewed in Sec. 3. We hope that the reader will be able to grasp its principles with profit to himself and without great difficulty, since it, and Sec. 10, play very important, though ancillary, role in our exposition.
The book was translated from the Russian by V. Kisin and was first published by Mir in 1976 with reprint in 1982.

In the Little Mathematics Library series we now come to Remarkable Curves, by a very remarkable author A. I. Markushevich. I am saying that he is remarkable as he has many good books under his sleeve, some of which we may see in the future.
As the title suggests the books takes the reader through various curves and how they can be materialised, just have a look at the table of contents below. The preface of the book says:
This book has been written mainly for high school students, but it will also be helpful to anyone studying on their own whose mathematical education is confined to high school mathematics. The book is based on a lecture I gave to Moscow schoolchildren of grades 7 and 8 (13 and 14 years old).
In preparing the lecture for publication I expanded the material,while at the same time trying not to make the treatment any less accessible. The most substantial addition is Section 13 on the ellipse, hyperbola and parabola viewed as conic sections.
For the sake of brevity most of the results on curves are given with-
out proof, although in many cases their proofs could have been given
in a form that readers could understand.The third Russian edition is enlarged by including the results on
Pascal’s and Brianchon’s theorems (on inscribed and circumscribed
hexagons), the spiral of Archimedes, the catenary, the logarithmic
spiral and the involute of a circle.
The book was translated from the Russian by Yu. A. Zdorovov and was first published by Mir in 1980.

We now come to Proof in Geometry in by A. I. Fetisov in the Little Mathematics Library series.
The Introduction of the book says:
The pupils often fail to understand why truths should be proved that seem quite evident without proof, the proofs often appearing to be excessively complicated and cumbersome. It sometimes happens, too, that a seemingly clear and convincing proof turns out, upon closer scrutiny, to be incorrect.
This booklet was written with the aim of helping pupils clear up the following points:
1. What is proof?
2. What purpose does a proof serve?
3. What form should a proof take?
4. What may be accepted without proof in geometry?
The book was translated from the Russian by Mark Samokhvalov and was first publised by Mir in 1978. This books was also published in the Topics in Mathematics series by Heath in 1963 and this edition was translated by Theodore M. Switz and Luise Lange. Dover [in 2006] has republished this book along with Mistakes in Geometric Proofs by Y. S. Dubnov as one single volume.

We now come to The Monte Carlo Method by I. M. Sobol in the Little Mathematics Library series. The book has a random number table as one of the appendices, which is sort of out dated, when we have access to computers so easily.
In the Preface the author says:
Everybody had at some moment used the words “probability”
and “random variable”. The intuitive idea of the probability (considered as frequency) corresponds more or less to the true meaning of this concept. But as a rule the intuitive idea of the random variable differs quite considerably from the mathematical definition. Thus, the notion of the probability is assumed known in Sec. 2, and only the more complicated notion of the random variable is clarified. This section cannot replace a course in the probability
theory: the presentation is simplified and proofs are omitted.
But it still presents certain concept of the random variables sufficient for understanding of Monte Carlo techniques.The basic aim of this book is to prompt the specialists in various branches of knowledge to the fact that there are problems in their fields that can be solved by the Monte Carlo method.
The book was translated from the Russian by V. I. Kisin and was first published by Mir in 1975. This book was also published as Popular Lectures in Mathematics by University of Chicago in 1974, and this edition was translated by by Robert Messer, John Stone, and
Peter Fortini.

In the Little Mathematics Library now we come to Systems of Linear Inequalities by A. S. Solodovnikov.
This booklet is one of longest in the LML series, having more than 120 pages. The back cover of the book says the following about the book.
The book tells about the relation of systems of linear inequalies to convex polyhedra, gives a description of the set of all solutions of a system of linear inequalities, analyses the questions of compatibility and incompatibility; finally, it gives an insight into linear programming as one of the topics in the theory of systems of linear inequalities. The last section but one gives a proof of the duality theorem of linear programming. The book is intended for senior pupils and all amateur mathematicians.
And the preface adds
Until recently one might think that linear inequalities would forever
remain an object of purely mathematical work. The situation
has changed radically since the mid 40s of this century when there
arose a new area of applied mathematics -linear programmingwith
important applications in the economy and engineering. Linear
programming is in the end nothing but a part (though a very important one) of the theory of systems of linear inequalities.
It is exactly the aim of this small book to acquaint the reader
with the various aspects of the theory of systems of linear inequalities, viz. with the geometrical aspect of the matter and some of the methods for solving systems connected with that aspect, with certain purely algebraic properties of the systems, and with questions of linear programming. Reading the book will not require any knowledge beyond the school course in mathematics.
The book was translated from the Russian by Vladamir Shokurov and was first published by Mir in 1979.
