I have always found Russian math book writers to be on point, not going too much over your head, also respecting the reader's intelligence. If you like it, then you will love his calculus book, that one is also a real gem.
- sAbakumoff 9y agoWow, that's pretty expensive book https://www.amazon.com/World-Built-Probability-L-Tarasov/dp/5030011242 https://www.amazon.com/World-Built-Probability-L-Tarasov/dp/...
- nafizh 9y agoYeah, his books are out of print. I have been looking for a hard copy of his calculus book. Really expensive.
- sAbakumoff 9y agoThanks for the reference anyway! I downloaded the Russian version in form of PDF document and enjoy reading it:-) What was great about USSR is its level of popularization of science. All these books written for kids or high school students were amazing.
- cema 9y agoYes, and a number of them are now available for free over the internet. In Russian...
- tmpmov 9y agoBased on the very light skim I just gave, I like that book. Thank you for the reference.
