MHB Soviet mathematics/ science books

Click For 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.

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).

I have been insisting to my statistics students that for probabilities, the rule is the number of significant figures is the number of digits past the leading zeros or leading nines. For example to give 4 significant figures for a probability: 0.000001234 and 0.99999991234 are the correct number of decimal places. That way the complementary probability can also be given to the same significant figures ( 0.999998766 and 0.00000008766 respectively). More generally if you have a value that...
