This is the fourteenth issue of the principal Soviet serial publication devoted to the history of mathematics, founded in 1948 and edited from its inception by Adolf Pavlovich Yushkevich (1906–1993), the foremost Russian historian of mathematics of the twentieth century and a corresponding member of the International Academy of the History of Science. The volume gathers original studies, archival publications and translations spanning the full chronological reach characteristic of the series. The first section traces the emergence of mathematical analysis through Wallis's integration methods (Kramar), the development of the calculus of variations (Dorofeyeva), uniqueness questions in trigonometric series (Paplauskas) and Lyapunov's contributions to the Stieltjes integral (Medvedev). A second section is devoted to Russian mathematics, including Belyi on Euler's textbook of elementary geometry, Matvievskaya on Bertrand's postulate in Euler's notebooks, Maistrov on Chebyshev's first arithmometer, and Galchenkova on mathematics at St Petersburg University in the nineteenth century. A third section covers ancient Chinese, Hellenistic, Czech and early modern topics. The closing texts-and-publications section is exceptionally important: it contains Ostrogradsky's previously unpublished work on the gamma function, Chebotaryov on applications of ideal theory to algebra, materials on the history of computing devices from the Archive of the USSR Academy of Sciences, the Rosenfeld–Yushkevich edition of medieval Arabic proofs of Euclid's fifth postulate by Thabit ibn Qurra and Shams al-Din al-Samarkandi, a translation of Pascal's Essay on Conic Sections with the accompanying letter from Leibniz to Étienne Périer, and an unpublished letter from N. I. Lobachevsky to the Berlin Academy of Sciences edited by K.-R. Biermann. With a small print run of only 2,250 copies, the volume remains a standard reference in the history of mathematics and is uncommon outside specialist libraries.
