The presentation of the material significantly complements the content of the lecture and calculates It is intended for a wide range of readers interested in mathematics: high school students, junior students, high school teachers and university professors.

The material of the tutorial corresponds to the programme of the course "Numerical Methods" recommended by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation. It contains the main provisions of the theory, a large number of detailed examples that are the basis for computer solutions of practical and educational problems of varying levels of complexity - from home exercises to term papers and theses. Exercises for independent work are included. A book of this type has no analogues either in our country or abroad.

For students of universities, pedagogical universities, universities with advanced study of mathematics, as well as for students of technical universities, postgraduate students and teachers, engineers and researchers using numerical methods in their practical activities.

The publication is devoted to the presentation of physically and geometrically nonlinear quasi-static boundary value problems of solid mechanics and their implementation by the finite element method. The book combines educational material and new results obtained by the authors. For composite materials, the asymptotic two-scale method is used. Numerical modeling of the consolidation process, effective properties of rocky soils, dispersed composite and rubber-cord layer is described.

The book is intended for researchers, graduate students and students, as well as engineers and researchers in applied fields of knowledge who use asymptotic and numerical methods in their activities.

This textbook provides an overview of the state environmental management system, the Institute of Environmental Assessment in general, and the requirements of the Russian Federation's environmental legislation in particular. The material in this textbook helps students develop practical competencies and fundamental scientific knowledge in the field of environmental protection.

This monograph presents the scientific and methodological foundations of the environmental quality management system, analyzes the structure and effectiveness of the legal mechanism for environmental protection, and explores the role of standards, environmental control, and environmental legal liability in environmental protection.

The book is accompanied by a concise glossary of environmental legal terminology.

The textbook presents the philosophical foundations of strategy theory, the methodology of strategy development and implementation, regional and industry strategizing, the financial foundations of strategizing, strategic leadership and strategic management. The textbook is written based on the strategizing methodology of a scientist-practitioner, a world-famous strategist, a foreign member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, professor, Dr. Sci. (Economics), Honored Worker of Higher Education of the Russian Federation Vladimir Lvovich Kvint. The presented theoretical provisions embody advanced international experience, reflect the results of the authors' research and 18 years of experience in teaching strategic disciplines at Moscow State University, and the real strategies they have developed at various levels in Russia and abroad.

For students studying in the fields of "Management", "Economics", "Human Resources Management", as well as for students of relevant advanced training courses, leaders of companies, federal departments, regions and municipalities.

This textbook introduces students to the main categories and trends in the development of economic policy areas: monetary, fiscal, foreign trade and social. The material is based on theories of macroeconomics, foreign trade, the public sector and extensive foreign experience. The authors relied on an analysis of modern trends in economic policy, taking into account its response to the global economic crises of 2007-2009 and 2020. The textbook allows students to develop an understanding of how decisions are made in the field of economic policy and what tools are used within the framework of its main directions in developed countries and countries with emerging markets.

The content of the textbook is based on the lecture series "Economic Policy", which the authors have been giving since 2011 for students of the Moscow School of Economics of Lomonosov Moscow State University. The textbook can be used by teachers of relevant subjects in the field of macroeconomics and national economy management and senior students of universities.

We talk about the basic concepts of statistics, understanding by it, as is customary in the school course, descriptive statistics. The main attention is paid to statistical variables and operations on them (linear transformations, summation, mixing). In the final section, using the example of the history of the discovery of argon, we talk about the role of statistics in natural science.

Reform theory is a relatively new branch of economic theory that studies the processes of targeted change in economic institutions. This monograph outlines the range of relevant problems and presents some of the most important results of reform theory. It develops a view of reform as a process of constructing an institutional trajectory that satisfies certain requirements, and proposes methods for constructing promising trajectories. Different reform strategies are compared, the problems of transplanting economic institutions are considered, institutional dysfunctions, the mechanisms of formation and evolution of institutional traps, and the causes of transformational decline are explored.

The processes of price stabilization, privatization, and labor market reform are examined, and the impact of democratization on economic growth is studied. Particular emphasis is placed on examining models describing the transformation of institutions in Russia and other former socialist countries.

This textbook is a revised and expanded edition of the text published in 2011 (Moscow: Academic Project).
