On June 25, 1956, the opening ceremony of the Third Soviet Congress of Mathematics
was held in Moscow. The conference was attended by more than 2,000 Soviet
scientists and young scholars, and also by more than 60 leading scholars from the
USA, UK, China, France, Italy, Sweden, India, Hungary, Poland, Czechoslovakia and
other countries. The opening session was followed by a breakout session in which a
Chinese scientist gave a presentation on The Poincaré-Lighthill-Kuo Method in the
session "Mathematical Problems in Mechanics" from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. on June
27. This Chinese scientist was Qian Xuesen (also known as Tsien Hsue-Shen), who
had just returned to China from the United States and was by now the Director of the
Institute of Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Invited by the Soviet
Academy of Sciences, Qian Xuesen, together with his wife Jiang Ying, had this visit
from June 20 to July 21. Qian was accompanied by his own Russian translator, Wu
Hongqing, Assistant Professor of the Department of Mathematics and Mechanics at
Peking University.
On June 20, Qian Xuesen and his party arrived in Moscow by plane. They were
met by Yuri Ivanovich Shaslov, a staff member of the Foreign Liaison Bureau of the
USSR Academy of Sciences, and the staff of the Chinese Embassy in the USSR. It
was a high-profile reception, and the USSR Academy of Sciences earmarked 53,066
rubles for the reception, covering air tickets, transportation, accommodation, banquet
meals, translation fee and admission tickets on the tour. This staff member of the
Foreign Liaison Bureau, who participated in the Patriotic War, accompanied him
throughout the trip and was responsible for the security of the entire trip.
After returning to China from the visit, Wu Hongqing drafted a report entitled
"Observations on the visit to the Soviet Academy of Sciences", which was revised
and reviewed by Qian Xuesen himself and submitted to the Chinese Academy of
Sciences. Through this valuable report, people learned the whole process of Qian
Xuesen's visit and the reason for his high standard reception by the Soviet Academy
of Sciences. From the report, it can be seen that Qian's visit included three kinds of
activities: reports, symposiums and visits.
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Right of withdrawal for consumers
(A consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor self-employed).

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 Buchpark, Trebbin, Germany, 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.
