Synopsis

COMPLETE SCARCE SIX-VOLUME SET, VERY GOOD 1964 FIRST EDITION hardcovers, Pergamon Press, clean "AS NEW" text, solid binding, no remainders, NOT ex-library, slight shelfwear; previous owner's name inside; lacking dust jackets; Volume II, V loosening front hinge; WE SHIP FAST. 201307238 This monumental work by an author of wide experience can be strongly recommended for purchase by libraries and by any student of applied mathematics. The work covers practically the whole of applicable mathematics and because of its sheer size it is impossible to review it in detail. As is usual in Russian works the treatment is discursive and the exposition is extremely sound and clear. In this case, the presentation is perhaps a little old- fashioned in places but, since the underlying principles are everywhere discussed so clearly and thoroughly, this is no real drawback. Furthermore, the clarity of the exposition is enhanced by the wealth of illustrations drawn from physics and technology. Vladimir Ivanovich (1887 – 1974) was a Russian mathematician who made significant contributions in both pure and applied mathematics, and also in the history of mathematics. Smirnov worked on diverse areas of mathematics, such as complex functions and conjugate functions in Euclidean spaces. In the applied field his work includes the propagation of waves in elastic media with plane boundaries and the oscillations of elastic spheres. His pioneering approach to solving the initial-boundary value problem to the wave equation formed the basis of the spacetime triangle diagram (STTD) technique for wave motion developed by his follower Victor Borisov (also known as the Smirnov method of incomplete separation of variables). Smirnov is also widely known among students for his five volume book A Course in Higher Mathematics.
