MHB Soviet mathematics/ science books

AI Thread Summary
A website has been identified that hosts a large collection of English-language mathematics and science books originally published in the Soviet Union, specifically by publishers like Mir and Raduga. These books are reportedly free from copyright claims as the publishers no longer operate in Russia. The collection has historical significance, as these Soviet texts were once popular in India. There is a suggestion to further investigate the copyright status of these materials to ensure compliance. The availability of these resources could be valuable for those interested in Soviet-era scientific literature.

Hi

Found a site where somebody from India has uploaded a LOT of mathematics and science books which were published in Soviet Union.
These are all in English...Publishers are Mir, Raduga etc.
http://mirtitles.org/

All the publishers there no longer operate in Russia, so there is no copyright claim on the books...These soviet books were
very popular in India in old days...

Thanks for the link, we will have to investigate the copyright issues to confirm the status of these but what you say is consistent with my memory of the situation (but things do change).

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
