The monograph presents a new approach to the construction of computational algorithms in gas dynamics. The algorithms are based on discrete models for one-particle distribution function. The book describes possibilities of interpreting the resulting system of finite difference equations as a model for the description of viscous gas flow and their application for modeling modern problems of gas dynamics on high performance multiprocessor computer systems.

For specialists in mathematical modeling, gas dynamics and applied mathematics, postgraduate students, students studying and using methods of mathematical modeling, computational experimenting.

The book outlines the most important questions of the grammar of the Russian language, which are included in the program of the basic and advanced stages of teaching foreign students. Russian Russian as a foreign language departments of Lomonosov Moscow State University, summarizing the long-term practical experience, describes the grammatical structure of the Russian language in a functional and communicative aspect.

The textbook is based on the lecture notes of Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences O.B.Lupanov on the course "Introduction to Mathematical Logic", read by him in the first year of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of Lomonosov Moscow State University in 1982-2006. The manual covers the following issues: functions of logic algebra, functions of multivalued logic, propositional calculus, logic and predicate calculus, logical networks, finite automata, algorithms and computable functions.

This book is an interdisciplinary study of physics and psychology. A combined analysis of experiments in quantum physics and the functioning of the human psyche reveals that our understanding of the world is based on an object-based model of reality, formed at the subconscious level. Through the consistent process of data acquisition in the mind, the experience of "the flow of time" arises, which, coupled with the need to correlate objects within this model, generates a spatiotemporal representation of the surrounding world.

This publication is intended специалистов и студентов в области физики и психологии.

The gymnasium was created at the same time with the Moscow University. It could not have happened otherwise, because a university without a gymnasium at the beginning of its activity would be, as M.B. Lomonosov called it, ‘like a seedless arable land’. The brochure of Professor Petr Illarionovich Strakhov (1792 — 1856) was published in the present form for the 100th anniversary of the first Russian university. We reproduce the 1855 edition, as one of the interesting monuments of the history of Russian education and science.

The tutorial contains main trends in invertebrate paleontology: systematic, evolution, taxonomy, nomenclature, mode of life and conditions of existence, taphonomy, stratigraphic and rockforming significance. The systematic part gives characteristics of the most important geology groups. The definition of taxa is accompanied by comparison charts and keys. Descriptions are illustrated by pictures and 34 paleontological tables. There is also a dictionary of terms and generic names. The tutorial is intended for students of geological departments of universities and natural-science institutes. It can be used in educational process in paleontological and geological schools as well as by everyone interested in paleontology.
