Abstract
AMONG Russian periodicals and books recently received are several containing papers on pure and applied mathematics. A striking feature is the many investigations of elasticity problems in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics. There are also many other papers of considerable interest, for example, the paper on the flow of a gas at supersonic velocities by V. S. Tatarenchik (App. Maths. and Mechanics, 8, 401; 1943), which should be compared with current investigations by Southwell and his colleagues (Nature, 154, 90 and 834; 1944). N. N. Parijsky gives (Astron. J. S. U., 21, 78; 1944) the result of calculations which support Russell's criticism of Jeans' theory of the origin of the solar system. In addition to the journals mentioned above, we have also received a valuable atlas of nomograms, containing thirty-seven plates. All the publications received are being deposited in the Science Museum, South Kensington, London, S.W.7, where they will be available for anyone who desires to consult them. By the aid of the summaries in English or French, it should be fairly easy for those entirely ignorant of Russian to understand the results and methods of the papers.
