Intro
0:01
there are three scientific languages I
0:04
guess other than English
0:06
and they are French German and the third
0:09
is Russian
0:10
and what I mean by that is if you go to
0:12
graduate school if you go to a good
0:14
graduate school for mathematics
0:16
oftentimes one of the requirements is
0:19
that you learn a foreign language that
0:23
you have to pass some tests some type of
0:25
proficiency test
0:27
in French German or Russian
0:30
and it’s because a lot of mathematics
0:32
was produced in those languages
0:36
in this video we’re going to look at a
0:37
book that was originally published in
0:40
Russian
0:41
so this is a book let me show you the
0:43
cover here and be very careful with it
0:44
this is a very rare book
0:46
multiple integrals field Theory and
0:48
series by B and budok and SV fomen you
0:52
can hear it see it says mirror
0:54
Publishers Moscow it’s pronounced near I
0:56
believe
0:59
really nice book let’s look at the back
1:01
here about the Publishers this is really
1:03
interesting mere Publishers of Moscow
1:06
publish Soviet scientific and technical
1:08
literature in 11 languages English
1:12
German French Italian Spanish Czech
1:14
cerebral croat Slovak Hungarian
1:16
Mongolian and Arabic
1:18
titles include textbooks for higher
1:20
technical schools and vocational schools
1:23
literature on the Natural Sciences in
1:25
medicine including textbooks for medical
1:27
schools Popular Science and science
1:29
fiction
1:30
the contributors to near Publishers list
1:32
are leading Soviet scientists and
1:35
engineers in all fields of Science and
1:37
Technology and include more than 40
1:39
members and corresponding members of the
1:41
USSR Academy of Sciences
1:44
skill to translators provide a high
1:46
standard of translation from the
1:47
original Russian
1:48
many of the titles already issued by
1:51
mere Publishers have been adopted as
1:52
textbooks and manuals at educational
1:54
establishments in France Cuba Egypt
1:58
India and many other countries I
2:00
actually have some books that were
2:03
published that are that were used in
2:05
Cuba by mere Publishers I have I think I
2:07
have one or two and they’re in Spanish
2:09
though but
2:10
I had some some I received those from
2:13
Cuba mere publishes books in foreign
2:15
languages are exported by vo and then
2:18
has a name there I can’t read that and
2:20
can be
2:20
purchased or ordered through booksellers
2:22
in their country dealing with v slash o
2:24
and then it has something there just
2:26
have to smell this because this is a
2:27
classic
2:29
ah smells so good so these books are
2:31
really hard to get in the United States
2:32
very rare I’ve been told that
2:35
um someone told me once that this was
2:37
the comment I got when the Soviet Union
2:39
fell so it’s no longer the Soviet Union
2:41
but when it was when it went away people
2:45
were selling these books like on the
2:46
streets for dollars I don’t know if
2:47
that’s true or not uh that’s just what I
2:50
heard this one’s signed Bhatia let’s see
2:52
what it says here about this particular
2:54
book
Authors
2:56
this book covers branches of mathematics
2:58
increasingly required by physicists such
3:01
as multiple line and improper integrals
3:03
the theory of fields and power and
3:06
trigonometric series based on lectures
3:09
read by the authors and physics faculty
3:10
of Moscow University the book Endeavors
3:14
to show the connection between various
3:15
mathematical Concepts and their
3:17
applications and wherever possible their
3:19
physical sense as well let me see if
3:21
there’s anything on the back flap here
3:24
be very careful with this
3:26
I hear it talks about the authors
3:29
the authors of this text are BM budak
3:31
and then professor fomen formerly of
3:35
Moscow State University
3:37
budak was the assistant professor and
3:40
math at the math chair of the physics
3:42
department was active mainly in the
3:44
field of computational mathematics he is
3:47
the author of over a hundred
3:48
Publications wow on different methods
3:50
for solving differential equations
3:52
methods of solving optimal control
3:54
problems stochastic problems methods of
3:56
solving ill-condition problems fulman
3:58
was a lecturer at the department of
4:00
mechanics and Mathematics
4:01
as principal lines of research were
4:03
topology functional analysis and
4:05
mathematical aspects of biology wow
4:09
wow he is the author of over 70
4:10
Publications among them textbooks and
4:13
manuals for college and university
4:14
students several have been translated
4:16
into foreign languages so this book is
4:18
written by Leading researchers these are
4:20
some of the best people in the world
4:23
right and this book was originally
4:26
written in Russian let’s go ahead and go
4:28
through it very carefully look at the
4:29
topics and stuff
4:32
there’s the inside cover it says
4:35
something here which I can’t read I
4:37
don’t speak Russian
4:39
and then here it says translated from
4:41
the Russian by VM volosov DSC mere
4:45
Publishers Moscow so the fact that it
4:48
was translated already is epic I think
4:51
it is a Monumental task to translate a
4:54
math book to any language from any
4:55
language it’s just very very impressive
4:57
an advanced course in higher mathematics
5:01
so this is the second printing first
5:03
published in 73 it says and this one was
5:06
in 78.
5:09
nice here’s the preface
Contents
5:12
the present book is based on lectures
5:14
given by the authors at the physical
5:15
Department of the lamanasa of State
5:18
University of Moscow
5:19
in the presentation of the material much
5:22
emphasis has been placed on the physical
5:23
meaning of mathematical Notions
5:26
and their interrelation as well as on
5:28
the applications and computational
5:30
aspects then here it talks a little bit
5:32
about the the book and the chapters
5:33
let’s skip that and just go to
5:36
the topics
5:38
so this is the contents double intervals
5:41
that’s where it starts wow so it starts
5:43
with double integrals so double
5:44
integrals are something you would see in
5:46
a calc 3 class right wow the concept of
5:49
measure this book does not they don’t
5:50
mess around these old Russian texts are
5:53
just so hardcore I just love it
5:55
definition and basic properties of
5:57
double integral and I feel like you find
5:58
math and explanations in these books
6:00
that you don’t find in other books I’ve
6:02
often seen techniques and just
6:04
explanations that are just not in modern
6:07
books so it’s kind of interesting
6:10
additive set functions derivative of a
6:12
set function with respect to area
6:16
some physical and geometric geometrical
6:19
applications of the double integral so a
6:21
lot of stuff on double integrals here
6:23
right just tons of stuff here
6:25
spending a lot of time on that
6:29
then here we have some more topics
6:31
reducing double integral to a two-fold
6:33
iterated integral
6:35
change of variables in double integral
6:38
chapter 2 is triple integrals and
6:40
multiple integrals of higher order just
6:43
a lot of a lot of information on double
6:46
and triple integrals right I mean that
6:47
is
6:48
multiple integrals that is that is one
6:50
of the titles of the book right so it
6:53
just spends an incredible amount of time
6:55
on that which is nice because not a lot
6:56
of time is spent in a calculus clause
6:58
and not not as much as this
7:01
not as much as this because you just
7:02
don’t have time elements of differential
7:05
geometry that’s cool so differential
7:08
geometry you could study today in
7:10
college if you wanted to if you’re if
7:12
your school offers it a lot of times
7:14
it’s a course that is simply not taught
7:16
or it’s an elective and it’s not offered
7:18
very often
7:20
you can see some of the more interesting
7:22
topics there let’s turn the page
7:25
more integration line integrals another
7:28
calc 3 topic definition of line integral
7:31
of the first type
7:32
properties of line integrals some
7:34
applications of line integrals of the
7:36
first type
7:37
line integrals of the second type they
7:40
have greens formula
7:42
you have surface integrals
7:45
Stokes theorem
7:47
field Theory
7:50
so Vector Fields so by field Theory they
7:53
don’t mean like
7:54
um you know fields from abstract algebra
7:56
okay they don’t mean that type of field
8:01
this is stuff that’s related mostly to
8:03
physics
8:04
then we have tensors down here
8:08
this is something again that again you
8:10
could study this in a course on tensors
8:12
as an undergrad typically it’s an
8:14
elective type course if you were to get
8:16
like an applied math degree it would
8:17
probably be required
8:19
they have functional sequences in series
8:22
so uniform convergence
8:25
a lot of information in this book right
8:27
it’s very dense when we look at the book
8:30
in a minute you’re going to see how
8:32
quickly it goes to material but that’s
8:33
why it covers so many topics and proper
8:36
integrals
8:38
integrals dependent on parameter
8:41
Fourier series and Fourier integral
8:44
look at this it just keeps going
8:46
it’s gonna go slow here so you can read
8:48
some of these topics
8:49
there’s an incredible amount of
8:51
information
8:52
and then that’s pretty much it’s got a
8:53
couple appendices and some supplements
8:58
basic types of computer that’s cool
9:01
right representing numbers with any
9:03
computers it goes into some
9:04
computational stuff like you know with
9:05
computers
9:07
basic operations actually executed by a
9:10
computer elements of programming
9:14
yeah this is this is from the 70s right
Programming
9:16
they’re talking about programming so
9:18
this is pretty you know forward-looking
9:22
here we go let’s read this definite
9:23
integrals the definite integral f of x
9:26
with respect to X from A to B is
9:27
connected with the problems of
9:28
determining the distance past or for a
9:30
given speed Computing the area of a
9:33
curved linear trapezoid
9:35
Etc there are many similar problems
9:37
involving functions of dependent
9:40
not on one but on many arguments a
9:43
typical problem of this kind is to find
9:45
the volume of a curved linear cylinder
9:46
which is a three-dimensional analog of a
9:48
curved linear trapezoid
9:50
then here it gives you the curve linear
9:52
so that’s a pretty good picture by the
9:54
way that’s a really good picture it
9:56
looks like it’s hand drawn
9:57
let me zoom in so you can see that it’s
10:00
pretty impressive
10:01
yeah that totally looks hand-drawn to me
10:07
yeah I don’t know how they made these
10:08
books back then but you can see how how
10:10
to the point it is
10:13
and it’s pretty Advanced right it’s
10:15
pretty Advanced
10:17
um I cannot see this being used today as
10:19
a book in an undergrad course unless it
10:22
was like you know specifically used for
10:24
advanced undergrads and obviously you
10:27
would have to have a lecture and stuff
10:28
and notes and you know a teacher to help
10:31
you you know dissect the information to
10:33
give you their version of what’s in the
10:35
book and try to fill in missing details
10:38
uh and things like that but you can see
10:41
these these old these old Soviet era
10:44
books are really hardcore
10:47
and I don’t know I just kind of like
10:49
that it’s just different it’s a piece of
10:51
history as a collector of of math books
10:54
um you know I think it’s amazing right A
10:56
Book Like This is very very rare very
10:59
hard to get I don’t believe let’s see
11:01
let’s go back to the um let’s go back to
11:04
the content here I want to check
11:05
something
11:07
yeah has a name index subject index
11:12
yeah let’s go to the end of the first
11:14
chapter here so chapter one
11:20
so you see there’s I don’t see
11:23
we don’t see exercises
11:26
right I don’t see exercises in this book
11:28
so some of these books have exercises
11:30
some of them don’t this has a lot of
11:31
examples
11:33
um yeah really beautiful I gotta smell
11:35
it one more time here just just
11:38
ah let’s skip ahead to like a random
11:40
section so you can see some more stuff
11:41
here oh absolute convergence I mean
11:43
that’s something you hear about in a
11:44
calc 2 class in some sense right with
11:46
series
11:47
here they’re talking about a double
11:50
integral said to be absolute convergent
11:52
if this integral converges right if the
11:54
absolute value yeah same thing with
11:55
Series right if you have an infinite sum
11:57
it’s the same thing you’ll see the sum
11:58
converges if if it converges and apps it
12:01
converges absolutely if it converges an
12:02
absolute value that’s what they’re
12:03
saying here so that’s just very very
12:06
similar
12:08
test for absolute convergence the
12:09
general comparison test that’s cool you
12:12
have comparison tests for series as well
12:14
so you see a lot of analogs between
12:16
other areas of math
12:18
really beautiful
12:21
wow
12:23
equivalence of convergence and absolute
12:24
convergence in the case of improper
12:26
multiple integral
12:29
yeah sometimes the English is not
12:31
100 right because it’s a translation
12:34
let’s take a look at the appendices see
12:36
what we have back here supplement
12:37
asymptotic expansions
12:42
um
12:42
beautiful
12:44
that’s the first supplement see what the
12:46
second one is
12:51
that’s supplement one being careful here
12:53
with my pages I don’t want to damage
12:56
this book supplement two oh universal
12:58
digital computers oh cool this is the
12:59
computer stuff
Computers
13:04
this supplement provides an introduction
13:05
to Modern digital computers they’re
13:08
operation in use it cannot be regarded
13:10
as a systematic account of the computer
13:11
Theory and programming methods and for
13:13
greater detail we refer the reader to
13:15
special books
13:17
that’s so cool computers wow
13:19
introduction many problems of modern
13:21
science and engineering require
13:22
extensive calculations to obtain results
13:24
of practical importance the amount of
13:27
work may be so large that the
13:28
calculations either cannot be carried
13:30
out manually or take so much time the
13:32
result becomes useless
13:34
for example it makes no sense to
13:36
forecast the next day’s weather by
13:38
applying a method that takes a month of
13:39
computational work that’s a good that’s
13:41
a good example
13:42
yeah it talks about the basic types of
13:44
computer Computing machines are divided
13:46
into two basic classes Machines of
13:49
discrete operation referred to
13:52
as digital and Machines of continuous
13:55
operation called analog a digital
13:58
computer operates with numbers
13:59
represented in a positional number
14:00
system and analog computer represents
14:03
variables by means of some physical
14:04
processes and quantities such as
14:06
electric currents voltages mechanical
14:08
displacements and so on that may very
14:10
continuously interesting and analog
14:13
computers only the final results take
14:14
the digital form analog computers are
14:16
widely
14:18
applied mostly when high accuracy is not
14:19
required but in modern computational
14:21
mathematics they are of less importance
14:23
than digital machines this reminds me of
14:25
other books published by mirror
14:27
Publishers I saw a book once I don’t own
14:29
this one it was on like I think it was
14:31
on like refrigerators or like the
14:33
microwave or something and it talks
14:34
about like microwaves and how microwaves
14:36
are made it’s just they have books on
14:38
everything right all the Sciences not
14:39
just mathematics have a book on bees and
14:43
people it talks about like bees and how
14:46
people are related to them and you know
14:48
it’s really scientific it’s called it’s
14:50
actually called bees and people
14:52
so they have a lot of really interesting
14:54
books on all areas of science they have
14:57
some that are not science I actually
14:58
have a cookbook that was published by
15:01
mere Publishers so
15:03
yeah quite interesting anyways I just
15:05
wanted to show you this really rare book
15:07
there’s other books like this by mere
15:09
Publishers they’re all very very rare
15:11
and the prices very wildly
15:14
um I forgot when I bought this it’s been
15:17
a while oh let’s take the dust jacket
15:18
off
15:21
oh look at that look how blue that is
15:23
wow
15:25
wow look at that it’s fancy looking it’s
15:28
almost like glitter it’s in such good
15:31
condition this is a masterpiece
15:34
yeah you can tell I’m a collector
15:37
so I love stuff like this I collect all
15:40
kinds of things but this is a nice book
15:42
anyways uh that’s it that’s wanted to
15:44
show you this book if you found any
15:46
value in this content at all and you
15:48
know feel free to subscribe if you want
15:50
to if you want to learn mathematics I do
15:52
have courses they’re on my website
15:55
mathsourcerer.com they’re actually on
15:57
the udb platform but if you get them
16:00
please use my website as it helps me and
16:02
I have courses on algebra calculus
16:04
differential equations some Advanced
16:05
calculus some abstract algebra stuff
16:07
like that
16:08
and yeah I set the prices to be really
16:10
low so if you use my website if you use
16:12
those links not only does it help me but
16:13
I’m pretty sure you get like a really
16:15
low price because I I lowered it to the
16:16
minimum
16:17
but yeah mere Publishers if you take
16:20
anything away from this video it’s that
16:22
um these are really rare books at least
16:24
here in the US I know in other countries
16:26
people have them
16:27
um I have a YouTube channel in Spanish
16:29
and people are always going on about
16:30
like oh yeah it’s they’re they’re cheap
16:32
here but it’s all about shipping too
16:34
right A lot of times like the shipping
16:35
is expensive so
16:37
yeah
16:38
anyways until next time good luck take
16:40
care keep doing mathematics
