| Dec 5, 2022 at 14:36 | comment | added | mathematrucker | @Stefan to get papers unavailable online I use interlibrary loan. The Las Vegas ILL service usually works (free to residents). When it doesn't I try the fee-based ILL service at lib.washington.edu/ill The university library in Hannover, Germany does not fulfill ILL requests from U.S. libraries due to copyright fears, so to get Chagrov's paper I had to request it from an Australian mathematician who cited it. He kindly emailed me his copy. | |
| Dec 5, 2022 at 11:05 | comment | added | StefanH | @mathematrucker Nice collection and picture! I noticed that you have a lot of articles originally from Eastern European journals listed. I know, this is off-topic, but may I give it a try... do you have access to the Ukrains'kyi Matematychnyi Zhurnal (Ukrainian Mathematical Journal)? I am looking for an article from 1964. The journal is accessible online, but only for issues that appeared after 1967. I have asked some colleagues, but they do not have access either. | |

| Dec 1, 2022 at 15:52 | comment | added | StefanH | @mathematrucker :D Thank you for your effort in translating Kuratowski's paper. Btw I noticed that you have a bunch of translations on your researchgate page. This is probably also worth a mention in this thread! | |
| Dec 1, 2022 at 15:27 | comment | added | mathematrucker | Kuratowski's 1922 paper contains a result that a colleague and I co-published as a Monthly problem in 1997. The published solver wrote "this result probably isn't new" to me in an email, but other than that nobody seemed to know it was in Kuratowski's paper. I was so embarrassed to find out (when Sherman uploaded "Variations on Kuratowski's 14-Set Theorem" to arXiv in 2004), I decided to translate the whole thing (in 2010). It didn't help that a previous Monthly problem of mine turned out to be an immediate consequence of a major theorem in Saks' "Theory of the Integral". | |

| Nov 22, 2022 at 12:02 | comment | added | StefanH | @Gupta Without demanding translations, I think wikisource has a similar goal. They do not have that much content related to math, but for physics there you can find an impressive list of original 19th century texts (even with translations!): en.wikisource.org/wiki/Category:Physics And of course, it is a wiki-page, so anyone can contribute (maybe it is up to us to expand the math content there ;). | |
| Nov 21, 2022 at 18:41 | comment | added | Gupta | Having a centralized resource can allow people to "edit" information(again, analogous to wiki). E.g., someone can make a translation(and with github like features others can contribute) or convert text to OCR or rewrite in latex. In fact, having such a site for general knowledge should already exist. Music has similar issues. Could have musicians who can work together on converting a manuscript in to musicXML. Similar for other things. Even a massive site that attempts to do most things(from math to music to science) would probably be a few TB's. | |
| Nov 21, 2022 at 18:39 | comment | added | Gupta | The collection should include everyone. I use the term master loosely but the point is to have a way to easily get at historical results that are mentioned in various books and papers. One would think that there would be a site dedicated to all papers mathematics(and offshoots) that attempts to consolidate all the information for a single entry point while providing a nice interface to search, modify, etc. Basically something analogous to Wikipedia. It takes nothing in space to store such information now days so no need to leave people out. | |

| Nov 17, 2022 at 14:49 | comment | added | Carl-Fredrik Nyberg Brodda | It is a bit reminiscent of Yu. Matiyasevich's solution of Hilbert's 10th problem, which appeared in his DSc thesis, whereas his PhD thesis was, like Makanin's, instead on the word problem for finitely presented semigroups. | |

| Nov 17, 2022 at 14:36 | comment | added | StefanH | Thank you for your comment! I have to admit, I never read the original work and only know about it from secondary sources or people talking about it at conferences (and maybe I have mixed things up here on the way). I am working on different topics, but reading/learning more about Makanin's algorithm is something on my todo list (that is probably why, having found your translation, it somehow sticked in my head). | |
| Nov 17, 2022 at 13:05 | comment | added | Carl-Fredrik Nyberg Brodda | Makanin's PhD thesis did not show decidability of equations in free groups or monoids (it deals with special monoids and small cancellation theory). The equations in monoids result was instead included in his DSc thesis (no groups yet). The results for free monoids and free groups are proved separately (in 1977 and 1983, respectively). | |
