Secondary emission and structural properties of solids. BY U. A. ARIFOV. Pp. ix + 144. New York: Plenum Press, 1971. Price $22.40. This book is intended as a senior/graduate text for students of the physical sciences. The content, by chapters, is: 1. Vector analysis; 2. Matrices; 3. Tensor analysis; 4. Se- quences and series; 5. Complex variables and analytic func- tions; 6. Variational calculus; 7. Group representations; 8. Some differential equations of physics; 9. Integral equa- tions; 10. Probability theory. This is a translation of a Russian text devoted to work carried out in the Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR in the city of Tashkent. There are articles on theoretical and experimental work on the interaction of atomic collisions involving multiply- charged ions, on the use of positrons for studing matter and on structural research. }
