Russian Papers on Pure and Applied Mathematics

Abstract

A NUMBER of Russian publications containing papers on pure and applied mathematics have been received, and most of them have at least an abstract in English, French, or German. In a few cases the papers are entirely in English. They include numbers of the Bulletin of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences (Mathematical Series) (1941–43), the Moscow Receuil Mathimatique (1942–3), Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (1943), Engineering Review (1943), and Comptes Rendus (1943). It is difficult to describe the mathematical contributions in a limited space; they deal with trigonometrical series, the theory of functions and other topics such as are treated in our own mathematical journals. As regards the engineering papers, attention may be directed particularly to the papers by Glagolev, Popov and Proktor on "The Mechanical Properties of Rubber"; Erokhin, Nikolaeva and Oghibalov on "Dynamic Brittleness of Metals"; Kasparov on "Distribution of Pressure on the Blades of a Hydroturbine" (all in Eng. Rev., 2; 1943) and to those by Astrov, Levin, Pavlov, and Khristianovitch on "The Design of the Laval Nozzles", Pugachev on "The General Problem of Exterior Ballistics for Aviation Bombs", Četajev on "The Sufficient Conditions of the Stability of a Rotating Motion of a Projectile", Banin on "Approximate Conformal Transformations applied to the Plane-Parallel Flow past an Arbitrary Shape" (all in App. Math, and Mech., 7; 1943).
