Preface

In Russia, a university Mechanics department will typically exist within a “Mathematical Faculty.” Such a department is not an engineering department in the western sense, but is something intermediate between a mathematics department and an engineering department. It will offer courses on calculus, linear algebra, analysis, differential geometry, differential equations, and so on, along with extensive courses
