Күн бұрынThis is a super thick book. It is a Mathematical Handbook on Higher Mathematics and it was written by Vygodsky. It was published by MIR Publishers Moscow. This book is out of print and is considered a collectible. It contains math topics that are no longer commonly taught today.

In the seventies, when I was at school in the former USSR, we had 6-8 hours every week with mathematics lessons. After school, we had mathematical club (kruzok), as well as chess, physics, chemistry, and biology. The strongest in classes would sit together with a weaker classmate to explain the difficult parts. Our grades would depend on the daily testing (everybody would get a 5-minute small written test before the lesson starts) and at least 2-3 control exams every 3 months, besides the final control test by the end of the semester.

Author Mark Yakovlevich Vygodsky (Марк Яковлевич Выгодский). That photo at the beginning of the book, is the author himself. This book in Russian cost less than $1 in some post-soviet countries. It was used by engineers as a reference book in CCCP, the book is very concise but covers a lot of areas from mathematics. Actually this book is nothing special, but when you have no computers and google there is no other choice.

How exciting! I have Vygodsky's Elementary Mathematics Handbook! So nice to see the higher maths version on your channel. The elementary maths handbook isn't just limited to elementary school maths, as it starts from basic addition and subtraction, but then it goes through algebra and geometry, and all the way up to the basics of limits! Very few workable examples in the book though - a practice book, perhaps a Schaum's Outline, would be needed to accompany it. Lots of great books were published in the Soviet Union. Thanks, Sorcerer!

A lot of great physics and math texts came out of the USSR: grad students in the US were regularly using Landau and Lifshitz's "Course of Theoretical Physics" texts in the 1990s, and Gradshteyn and Ryzhik's "Table of Integrals, Series, and Products" was the integral table of last resort in the days before everyone was using computer algebra systems for the purpose. If you couldn't find your integral in there you probably couldn't find it anywhere.

I have this book ( plus a few more ), given to me by my dad, who was a mathematician. Been having this since the last 50 years. I still refer to this sometimes. I plotted some of the curves as per the last chapter using geogebra and the results were spectacular. One other use I found is that after the curve was plotted, you can feed in the scatter values to a Machine Learning program and train the system to see if they can recreate the curves. Of course you will get an algebraic power series expansion that closely models these curves but the curves themselves are remarkable. The chapter itself is called "Some remarkable curves" beginning on page 756... Never seen those curves in any other single book... By the way, the book was priced at Rs 12/- , about 20 cents at today's exchange rate !!

When I was a student, Mir books were much more affordable than most western manuals, and always very good. I have many wonderful physics and mathematics books from Mir, in portuguese, english, spanish and french. They also published many books covering advanced scientific topics targeting a general audience. "Sur la Physique et l'Astrophysique" (V. Ginzburg), "Idées Folles" (I. Radounskaia), "L'Atome de Aà Z" (K. Gladkov), "Au carrefour des Infinis" (E.Parnov), "Au Pays des Quanta" (L. Ponomarev), "Physique Nucléaire Recreative" (C. Moukhine) were a crucial part of my early discovery of particle physics and astrophysics, in high school. Later, I tried to collect all the volumes of the wonderful series "Theoretical Physics" by Landau and Lifschitz. My edition of Higher Algebra by A. Kurosh lists the following other books (besides Vygodsky's): Differential and Integral Calculs (N. Piskunov), Problems in Mathematical Analysis (Ed. B. Demidovich), Theory of functions of a Complex Variable (Sveshnikov and Tikhonov), Problems in the Theory of Functions of a Complex Variable (Volkovysky, Lunts, Aramanovich), Lectures in higher Mathematics (A. Myskis), Problems in Higher Algebra (Faddeev, Sominsky).

The author is holding a 'Compass' or a 'Divider', not a 'Protractor'. A compass is a drafting tool used to draw circles or arcs and has one point for setting the center of rotation and then a lead or ink holder for drawing arcs or circles. A 'Divider' has two sharp points and is used to divide a line or arc or circle into parts and also to replicate a dimension to another part of the drawing. Before CAD all engineering students had to take a couple of drafting courses and had to purchase a drafting tool set for lead or ink drawings. I still have mine from 1960 as well as my slide rule. I also have a mathematics handbook I purchased for advanced mathematics class in high school back in 1959. The CRC Standard Mathematic Tables book served me well with 4 and 5 place Logarithms, Trig Functions, Differentials, Integrals, Fourier Transforms, Infinite Series, Statistics, etc. Of course most of the tables in the book are built into calculators but the solutions to many math equations & functions still makes the book a good reference. The newer editions contain a lot more information that is relevant to the computer and graphing calculator users.

At 5:11 under SOME REMARKABLE CURVES item 505, "Leaf of Descartes" is pronounced like 'daycart', and not 'dezzcarr'. Descartes was a seminal figure in philosophy, science, and mathematics. He was known (in mathematics) for his work in Analytic Geometry (Cartesian Coordinates -- look up his work: "La Geometrie"), and greatly influenced the young Issac Newton.

This is actually the book that changed my life! My grandfather had this book (the original edition though) in his personal library, and when I found it as a child, I was totally fascinated. All this high-level math looked like arcane magic to me, and I was so curious to decypher it that I started my math journey, reading other books (we also had a Handbook of Elementary Mathematics by the same Vygodsky), and then eventually in high school I could understand everything written in this book

this book (modern edition) is still avauilable both in paper and in electronic format in Russian though. But probably in English also, you just need to try and search.

In ex-Yugoslavia / west Balkan, it was common to get "Bronshtein" math Handbook. The last print which i have even had logical circuits and plenty of other examples.

What do you think is a good modern day version of this book? Or something that has similar content that I can actually purchase today? Thank you!!
