Description: 
In addition to the Chair of Mathematical Analysis, this institute 
has a large Seismology Section. The Institute, however, does not limit its 
study of earth sciences to seismology. M. G. Antsilevich analyzed the geo- 
Magnetic observations of the first Soviet cosmic rocket, and several other 
members of the Institute concentrate on meteorology. The Institute has a 
URAL=type computer which is used in meteorological studies. 
Considerable attention is given to the theory of elasticity and to 
the solution of structural problems for construction engineering. Most 
prominent in this area are B. A. Bondarenko and V. K. Kabulov. Another 
area of great interest is probability and statistics. Studies in this area 
are applied to economics, quality control, and statistical mechanics. Still 
another effort is directed to the solution of nonlinear differential equa- 
tions and various other areas of pure mathematics. 
The Institute publishes a Trudy periodically.
