Nikolai Maximovich Günther (Russian: Николай Максимович Гюнтер, also transliterated as Nicholas M. Gunther[1] or N. M. Gjunter[2]) (December 17 [O.S. December 5] 1871 – May 4, 1941) was a Russian mathematician known for his work in potential theory and in integral and partial differential equations: later studies have uncovered his contributions to the theory of Gröbner bases.[2]
He was an Invited Speaker of the ICM in 1924 at Toronto,[3] in 1928 at Bologna,[4][5] and in 1932 at Zurich.

The "Mathematics in the USSR during its first thirty years 1917–1947" is an opus describing the developments of Soviet mathematics during the first thirty years of its existence. It consists of several survey articles, authored by Soviet experts and reviewing briefly the contributions of Soviet mathematicians to a chosen field during the years from 1917 to 1947: it was later expanded as the two volume survey (Kurosh et al. 1959a, 1959b).

The "Mathematics in the USSR during its first forty years 1917–1957" is an opus in two volumes describing the developments of Soviet mathematics during the first forty years of its existence. This is the first volume, titled "Survey articles" and consists exactly of such kind of articles authored by Soviet experts and reviewing briefly the contributions of Soviet mathematicians to a chosen field, during the years from 1917 to 1957.

This is the second volume, titled "Biobibliography" (evidently an acronym for biography and bibliography), containing a complete bibliography of works published by Soviet mathematicians during that time period, alphabetically ordered with respect to author's surname and including, when possible, brief but complete biographies of the authors.
