Scientific Russian: A Concise Description of the Structural Elements of Scientific and Technical Russian (English and Russian Edition)

This book is intended to fill a need not ordinarily met by elementary language textbooks. The scientist or engineer, as well as the student preparing for these professions, is frequently faced with the problem of acquiring rapidly and directly a reading knowledge of Russian adequate to cope with technical articles and books in his field. This book is designed to be used almost from the beginning in conjunction with such unsimplified scientific and technical reading matter, and with a dictionary. It is meant primarily for beginners with no previous knowledge of Russian, but can also be used by those who wish to refresh their knowledge of the language. It can be used in classes or for individual study.
