«Basic education for high technologies».
The initiators of its opening were prof. Yu. L. Gevorkyan and Assoc. A. L. Grigoriev. When preparing for the publication of the textbook «Fundamentals of Linear Algebra and Its Applications in Technology» (2002), they suggested placing the name of the future series (in Russian and Ukrainian) on the dust jacket, which was done by the publisher with the knowledge of the rector, Prof. L. L. Tovazhnyanskyi. On 05.02.2003, a solemn presentation of the new textbook was held (with the participation of the rector, reviewers, fellow mathematicians, the head of the relevant department of the State Administration of Public Administration and postgraduate students of the first year of study). After that, 110 copies of the book were presented to graduate students and about 100 copies to teachers of KhPI, as well as other universities in Kharkiv and Ukraine. And in the future, during the next 3 years, this textbook repeatedly acted as a kind of ‘business card’ of KhPI.
In 2009, Prof. Yu. L. Gevorkyan and Prof. A. L. Grigoriev prepared for publication the 1st volume of the new textbook «Scalar and vector analysis for classical engineering education» and turned to the rector with a proposal to publish it as a continuation of the book series «Fundamental education for high technologies» started in 2002.
The original graphic sign of the series (in the form of a flying saucer) was proposed by L. D. Cherkashin, director of the publishing center of KhPI National Technical University.
The rector agreed with these proposals, and since January 2010, the book series has been officially published in the newly created publishing center «Textbook of NTU KhPI». According to the issued order,
«The series will combine educational publications from general and applied disciplines, which are meaningful, high-quality and aimed at the implementation of high technologies in mechanical engineering and other industries, transport, construction and communication.».
By the beginning of 2013, three textbooks were published as part of this series:
Ю.Л. Геворкян, А.Л. Григорьев. Основы линейной алгебры и её приложений в технике: учебник. – Харьков, НТУ «ХПИ», 2002. – 542 с.
Ю.Л. Геворкян, А.Л. Григорьев. Скалярный и векторный анализ для классического инженерного образования: общий курс высшей математики в 2-х томах. – Т.1. – Харьков, НТУ «ХПИ», 2010 – 652 с. (и его второе издание – Харків: Підручник НТУ «ХПІ», 2011).
В.А. Ванин, Ю.Л. Геворкян, А.Л. Григорьев. Скалярный и векторный анализ для классического инженерного образования: специальные главы курса высшей математики. – Т.3. – Харків: Підручник НТУ «ХПІ» – 2012. – 464 с.
as well as a study guide transferred to the publishing center for publication:
В.А. Ванін, Ю.Л. Геворкян, О.Л. Григор’єв. Елементи векторного аналізу: навчальний посібник. – 457 с. (гриф МОН надано 22.07.2011 р., лист 1/11-6562 ).
The initiators hope that the circle of authors of this series will continue to expand.
The opening pages of the first three books of the series can be found at their e-mail addresses on the Internet
