I have been studying Russian for about a year now as a bit of personal edification, but I would like to be able to talk about and write about mathematics in Russian, as well. I find it enhances my understanding of things if I connect different disciplines in meaningful ways. I am proficient, though not expert, but I am improving.

I would like to (eventually) be able to read preprints and original books in Russian (e.g., Shilov, Markov, Kantorovich, etc.), and to be able to interact with Russian colleagues in their own language (without having to pester them about terminology day in and day out).

I have found these resources, so far:

This from the University of Bonn, and this, a dictionary file for Polyglossum (which I had never heard of until this thought struck me), and two books: Russian for the mathematician (S.H. Gould, 1972), and Russian for the scientist and mathematician (C.A. Croxton, 1984).

Has anyone been in a similar situation, or know of other good materials to use while working toward my goal?

    While browsing in the library a couple weeks ago I came across "Russian for the Mathematician" by Sydney H. Gould. This might be what you're looking for. There appear to be very cheap used copies available if your library doesn't have it.2011-06-20

    @Michael As it happens, my university library appears to have that, and a book by Clive A. Croxton called _Russian for the scientist and mathematician_. Quite a fortuitous find on your part. Thank you.2011-06-20

    You're probably aware that many articles and journals were systematically translated by the AMS, see e.g. [AMS translation Journals](http://www.ams.org/publications/journals/translation/translation). I think a rather quick way of picking up quite a bit of specialized terminology non-systematically is to choose articles you're interested in and read the original and the translation next to each other. Working through introductory books will certainly also help (that's how I picked up the terminology in several languages). You don't need much acquaintance with the language itself for that.2011-06-20

    @Theo That looks like a very good resource. I'll have to double-check with my department to see if we have a subscription to the translation journals. If not, I can always just examine the free archive and whatever I can find on MathSciNet. Thank you very much.2011-06-20

    Several Russian-English and English-Russian dictionaries are mentioned in answers to [this related question](http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/164553/dictionaries-and-resources-for-translation-of-mathematical-terminology/).2012-06-29
