This 1934 edition of James B. Scarborough's classic work is a milestone in the dissemination of numerical methods within the Soviet scientific community during the second Five-Year Plan. Translated from the original English text (first published in 1930 by Johns Hopkins Press), the book became a fundamental manual for engineers, physicists, and mathematicians in the USSR at a time when precision in manual and mechanical calculation was paramount. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of error analysis and computational approximation, including the arrangement of finite differences, numerical integration, and the solution of differential equations—methods that would later form the bedrock of early computer science algorithms.
The publication by GTTI (the State Technical and Theoretical Publishing House) reflects the high academic rigor of the pre-war Leningrad and Moscow mathematical schools. Scarborough’s approach was noted for its clarity and practical orientation, focusing on obtaining numerical results with a known degree of accuracy. Across its 440 pages, the work covers interpolation, the method of least squares, and the theory of errors, presented with a level of detail necessary for the rigorous technical challenges of early 20th-century aviation, ballistics, and structural engineering. Despite a print run of 7,000 copies, well-preserved hardcover examples from 1934 are significant rarities, serving as primary sources for the history of mathematics and the evolution of computational techniques in the Soviet Union before the age of electronic computers.
