Dust jacket condition: VG. Very nice clean copy. This dictionary is the first work devoted to translating solely technical terms and expressions of the statistical sciences from Russian to English and, as such, is invaluable to those interested in utilizing Russian literature not available in translation. Compiled from a word list drawn from original sources, such as selected Russian articles and books in statistics and related areas, including the most recent publications, the dictionary contains over five thousand terms and expressions. Entries from closely related fields such as the theory of games, queueing theory, information theory, and quality control are also included. Bearing in mind that in translating scientific papers at least two dictionaries are usually needed (a general one and one pertaining to the particular field), the author, Samuel Kotz, and his collaborator, Wassily Hoeffding, have not included such words as "precipitation," "beverages," "food industry," and the like, that although frequently found in the text of statistical tables cannot be considered statistical terms per se. Instead (continued from front flap) r J the compilers have selected as many specifically statistical expressions as possible, especially those that cannot be found in either general or mathematical Russian-English dictionaries. The Russian Reader is in the form of an interlinear translation of passages from recent Soviet publications. The purpose of the Reader is to assist those, who, with a modest background in basic Russian at the level of a two-term study of the language in a university, or its equivalent, are interested in acquiring a reading knowledge of "statistical" Russian without further detailed study of the structure of the Russian language. A passage of familiar context in Russian, supplemented by a word-by-word interlinear translation in English, facilitates to a great extent the memorization of Russian words contained in the passage. The appendix provides a bilingual author index-i.e., a list of Russian transliterations and the English forms of the names of approximately two hundred statisticians. 133 pages.…

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to CorgiPack, Fulton, New York, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
Shipping terms
We generally ship by the next business day. We want your order to reach you in the same condition it leaves our shelves -- so much so that we've created our own brand of shipping mailer. CorgiPack¿ mailers are constructed with a B-flute corrugated fiberboard pad providing solid edge and corner protection in transit, protection sadly lacking in cheap bubble mailers. And they're 100% recyclable -- just put them out with the household paper! International orders are shipped via AIR and should arrive in 7 to 10 days after shipping. Oversize items (e.g. sets containing 2 or more volumes, 4to, folios) and high cost items are sometimes subject to additional shipping charges; we will contact you for your approval if such is the case. Orders shipped outside of the United States may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees levied by the destination country. International shipments may be subject to such import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are levied once a shipment reaches the recipient's country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and can't predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; you should contact your local customs office for more information. When customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates.
