数学物理方法，第二卷。作者：R. COURANT 和 D. HILBERT。 Interscience 出版社，纽约； 1962.xxii-t-830，第 817.50 页。库朗和希尔伯特的两卷《数学物理学方法》自问世以来就被视为应用数学家的标准资料书籍。而这是英文版的第二卷，可以说是为“突破语言障碍”做出了贡献。库朗教授的序言解释了这本书的起源；据说，自从上次战争（1943 年）Interscience 出版社在美国政府许可下重印德文版第二卷以来，该英文版就一直在准备之中。它还解释了这本书对库尔特·奥托·弗里德里希斯的奉献，“%自然地承认了持久的科学和个人友谊”。这本书的作者身份的多头特征也得到了解释（这里让人想起与库朗和弗里德里希斯的书《超音速流和冲击波》一起分发的滑雪图片，展示了库朗带领一群容易识别的滑雪者走下斜坡，以及由此产生的震动
Methods of Mathematical Physics, Volume II. By R. COURANT and D. HILBERT. Interscience Publishers, New York; 1962. xxii-t-830 pp. 817.50. The two volumes of Courant and Hilbert’s" Methoden der mathcmatischen Physik" have been regarded, since their appearance, as standard source books for applied mathematicians. And this is thesecond volume of the English version, contributing to" breaking through the language barrier", so to speak. The preface, by Professor Courant, explains the genesis of thebook; this English version is said to have been in preparation ever since the appearance during the last war (1943) of the Interscience Publishers reprint of volume II of the German edition, under license of the United StatesGovernment. It also explains the dedication, of the book to Kurt Otto Friedrichs as’% natural acknowledgement of a lasting scientificand personal friendship". The polycephalic character of the authorship of the book is also explained (one is reminded here of the skiing picture which was distributed along with many copies of Courant and Fricdrichs’ book, Supersonic Flow and Shock Waves, showing Courant leading a crowd of readily identifiable skiers down a slope, and the resulting shock
