Pafnuty Lvovich Chebyshev (1821–1894) was the most influential Russian mathematician of the nineteenth century and the founder of the St. Petersburg mathematical school, the lineage of which produced Markov, Lyapunov, Korkin, Voronoi, Steklov, Bernstein, and ultimately the entire Soviet tradition of probability theory and approximation theory. His name is attached to a remarkable range of fundamental results: Chebyshev's inequality and the weak law of large numbers in probability theory; the Chebyshev polynomials and the theory of best uniform approximation; Chebyshev's theorem (Bertrand's postulate) on the distribution of prime numbers; the Chebyshev sum inequality; and important contributions to the theory of mechanisms, ballistics, and number theory. The "Polnoe sobranie sochineniy P. L. Chebysheva" published by the USSR Academy of Sciences in five volumes between 1944 and 1951 is the canonical scholarly edition of his works, prepared by an editorial board of the foremost Soviet mathematicians, including Sergei N. Bernstein, Ivan M. Vinogradov, Andrei N. Kolmogorov, Naum I. Akhiezer, Vasily L. Goncharov, and Nikolai G. Bruevich. The two volumes offered here — Mathematical Analysis I and II (volumes II and III of the collected works, Moscow–Leningrad, 1947 and 1948) — gather Chebyshev's foundational papers on the theory of approximation of functions, the integration of irrational expressions, orthogonal polynomials, mechanical quadratures, and related questions of nineteenth-century classical analysis: the core of his analytical legacy. Each volume opens with a frontispiece portrait of Chebyshev and a facsimile of his signature. The edition was printed on good post-war paper at the Obraztsovaya Tipografiya in Moscow and bound in dark blue ledergerin with gilt lettering and red morocco spine labels — a typical high-quality Stalin-era Academy of Sciences scholarly binding. The remaining volumes of the set, not present here, contain Chebyshev's number-theoretic work (vol. I), his theory of mechanisms (vol. IV), and miscellaneous writings and biographical materials (vol. V).
