Biography
Andrei D. Polyanin is a professor in the Institute for Problems in Mechanics at the Russian Academy of Sciences and a professor of mathematics at Bauman Moscow State Technical University. He is a member of the Russian National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics as well as the Mathematics and Mechanics Expert Council of the Higher Certification Committee of the Russian Federation. A prolific author of more than 30 books and over 140 research papers, Dr. Polyanin has been a recipient of the Chaplygin Prize from the Russian Academy of Sciences and an award from the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation.
Alexei I. Chernoutsan is a professor, dean of the Faculty of Natural Sciences Education, and head of the Department of Physics at Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas. Dr. Chernoutsan is a prominent scientist in the fields of statistical physics, fluctuation kinetics, phase transitions, and percolation theory. He is deputy editor-in-chief of Kvant, a popular Russian educational magazine for schoolchildren and students.
Concise presentation (without proofs), mindfulness of differing mathematical backgrounds (avoidance of special terminology when possible), and emphasis on practical aspects (formulas, problems, methods, and laws that occur frequently in engineering applications) contribute to the usefulness of this single-volume reference. Many sections are self contained; subsections are arranged in increasing order of complexity; and a bibliography is included for each chapter. …
