Problems In Mathematics With Hints And Solutions by V. Govorov; P. Dybov; N. Miroshin; S. Smirnova

The book contains more than three thousand mathematics problems and covers each topic taught at school. The problems were contributed by 120 of the higher schools of the USSR and all the universities.

The book is divided into, four parts: algebra and trigonometry, fundamentals of analysis, geometry and vector algebra, and the problems and questions set during oral examinations. The authors considered it necessary to include some material relating to complex numbers, combinatorics, the binomial theorem, elementary trigonometric inequalities, and set theory and the method of coordinates. The authors believe that this material will help the readers systematize their knowledge in the principal divisions of mathematics.

In writing the book, the authors have used their experience of examining students in mathematics at higher schools and the preparation of television courses designed to help students revise their knowledge for the entrance examinations to higher educational establishments.

To make it easier for readers to grasp the material, some of the sections have been supplemented with explanatory text. The problems are all answered and some have additional hints or complete solutions.

The more difficult problems are marked with asterisks. Part 4 is entitled “Oral Examination Problems and Questions” and includes samples suggested by the higher schools.

The authors hope that this book will help those who want to enter the various types of higher school, aid the teachers, and be of use to all those who want to deepen and systematize their knowledge of mathematics.

EDITED BY PROF. A.I. PRILEPKO, D.Sc.

The novel delves into themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the harsh realities of war, portraying the psychological and physical toll on those involved. Fadeev emphasizes the struggle for survival and the ideological commitment of the characters, reflecting the broader conflict in Russia during that time.

Envy by Yuri Olesha

Envy by Yuri Olesha is a satirical novel that explores the tensions between the old and new Soviet society through the relationship between two main characters: Andrei Babichev, a successful and confident Soviet food industry manager, and Nikolai Kavalerov, a bitter and envious young man whom Babichev takes in. The novel contrasts Babichev’s embodiment of Soviet ideals—progress, collectivism, and industrial success—with Kavalerov’s disillusionment, individualism, and sense of alienation. Through Kavalerov’s envy and resentment, Olesha critiques the emotional and psychological costs of Soviet modernization and the loss of individual identity in a society driven by collective goals.

A Collection Of Problems On A Course Of Mathematical Analysis by G. N. Berman

THE present Collection of Problems is intended for students studying mathematical analysis within the framework of a technical college course. In the arrangement of the material, the style of the exposition and basic pedagogical tendencies the Collection is most suited to the widely used Course of Mathematical Analysis of A. F. Bermant. At the same time, since the book contains systematically selected problems and exercises on the main branches of a Technical College course of mathematical analysis, it forms a useful adjunct independently of the text-book on which the course is based.

Culture And Perestroika

Perestroika is commonly associated with the introduction of a new economic mechanism and the elimination of impediments to economic growth. At the same time emphasis is placed on the importance of “a strong social policy” and the revolutionary role of new thinking. In the process of perestroika we will have to reestablish —on a new foundation!—the economics-politics-culture triad, in which culture is both a highly important condition for the social reforms being carried out in this country and a guarantee of their quality.

This collection will give the foreign reader a chance to see for himself what serious changes are occurring in the social awareness of Soviet men and women due to perestroika . How are these changes revealed?

The battles of ideas being contested by economists, writers, philosophers, journalists, and ordinary readers responding to the ongoing debate in the newspapers and magazines stem not just from differing interests and perceptions of perestroika, but from discrepancies in the shaping of new thinking itself. Clearly, though, there is a trend towards liberation from dogmatism, bureaucratism, lies and half-truths. People are thinking and eagerly seeking the truth. The articles in this collection bear witness to that.

Show Yourselves Martians! – Pavel Klushantsev

ANNOTATION

This book provides an overview of the mysteries and explorations of Mars. The Red Planet has fascinated humanity since antiquity. The invention of the telescope only deepened its enigmas, particularly with the discovery of the so-called ‘canals.’ This led to the idea of Martians living on the planet in science fiction. But is there really life on Mars? Do Martians exist? What are the canals? To answer questions like these space probes from the USSR and USA started the exploration of Mars in the 1960s. Going to Mars is not straightforward and reaching Mars is an engineering and technological feat. Ever since then we have continued our explorations of the Red Planet. We now have sophisticated rovers on the surface of Mars and orbiters in orbit around Mars. In the last few decades our knowledge of Mars has improved in leaps and bounds with new discoveries shedding more and more light on the mysterious planets past and future. This volume presents an outline of these explorations, a journey that continues to advance the bounds of human knowledge with hopes that one day humans will inhabit Mars.

Translators Note

One of the first books that I remember reading was All About the Telescope by Pavel Klushantsev translated to Marathi. The book got me fascinated about science in general and astronomy in particular.

So, when I saw this book by Klushantsev on Mars only available in Spanish, I could not resist from translating it. Though I started the work on this some years back, it was never completed for various reasons. One of them being the complex nature of typsetting in the book. So for this book I have used Scribus for typsetting and the results have been pleasing.

Since the book was written, our knowledge about Mars has increased by leaps and bounds. I have added an additional chapter in the book that summarises the various spacecraft since the 1990s that have taken our knowledge of Mars to the next level. The Martian surface has been revelead unprecendented detail with numerous rovers and orbiters around it. The attribution of images in the last section is provided with the images.

We now have active rovers on the surface of Mars and orbiters around it sending us vital information about the Red Planet. All this with hopes that humans would one day land there. It is to those future astronauts this translation and additional sections are dedicated.
