I recently have become aware of some old Soviet/Russian "classics" and am interested in learning more! It seems the style of the books I have found are always comprehensive but precise and to the point, much like Landau's Course in Theoretical Physics, and I appreciate this style.
The ones I have recently become aware of are:
Mathematics
N.S. Piskunov - Differential and Integral Calculus
Y.A. Rozanov - Probability Theory: A Concise Course
The USSR Olympiad Problem Book
N. N. Lebedev, et al - Worked Problems In Applied MathematicsPhysics
S.S. Krotov - Aptitude Test Problems in Physics
I.E. Irodov - Problems in General Physics
Landau's Course in Theoretical Physics
What are some of the other gems of the Russian literature? I have heard of A.A. Pinsky Problems in Physics, L.A. Sena A collection of Questions and Problems in Physics and V. Zubov & V. Shalnov Problems in Physics but that they are superfluous to Krotov and Irodov. Is there a Russian equivalent to something like Alonso and Finn Fundamental University Physics or the Feynman lectures? Is there an Advanced Calculus or Mathematical Methods of Physics books out there on the level of Mathews and Walker or Kaplan?
Please add your knowledge to the list! I think it would be good to have a list somewhere for people to learn about these increasingly hard to find books. I was inspired to do this by the hints of a list at the end of this thread: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=381014
