Andrei D. Polyanin, D.Sc., Ph.D., is a noted scientist of broad interests, who works in various
fields of mathematics, mechanics, and chemical engineering science.
A. D. Polyanin graduated from the Department of Mechanics and
Mathematics of the Moscow State University in 1974. He received
his Ph.D. degree in 1981 and D.Sc. degree in 1986 at the Institute for
Problems in Mechanics of the Russian (former USSR) Academy of
Sciences. Since 1975, A. D. Polyanin has been a member of the staff
of the Institute for Problems in Mechanics of the Russian Academy of
Sciences.
Professor Polyanin has made important contributions to developing
new exact and approximate analytical methods of the theory of differ-
ential equations, mathematical physics, integral equations, engineering
mathematics, nonlinear mechanics, theory of heat and mass transfer,
and chemical hydrodynamics. He obtained exact solutions for sev-
eral thousands of ordinary differential, partial differential, and integral
equations.
Professor Polyanin is an author of 17 books in English, Russian, German, and Bulgarian. His
publications also include more than 110 research papers and three patents. One of his most significant
books is A. D. Polyanin and V. F. Zaitsev, Handbook of Exact Solutions for Ordinary Differential
Equations, CRC Press, 1995.
In 1991, A. D. Polyanin was awarded a Chaplygin Prize of the USSR Academy of Sciences for
his research in mechanics.

Alexander V. Manzhirov, D.Sc., Ph.D., is a prominent scientist in the fields of mechanics and
applied mathematics, integral equations, and their applications.
After graduating from the Department of Mechanics and Mathemat-
ics of the Rostov State University in 1979, A. V. Manzhirov attended a
postgraduate course at the Moscow Institute of Civil Engineering. He
received his Ph.D. degree in 1983 at the Moscow Institute of Electronic
Engineering Industry and his D.Sc. degree in 1993 at the Institute for
Problems in Mechanics of the Russian (former USSR) Academy of
Sciences. Since 1983, A. V. Manzhirov has been a member of the staff
of the Institute for Problems in Mechanics of the Russian Academy
of Sciences. He is also a Professor of Mathematics at the Bauman
Moscow State Technical University and a Professor of Mathematics
at the Moscow State Academy of Engineering and Computer Science.
Professor Manzhirov is a member of the editorial board of the jour-
nal “Mechanics of Solids” and a member of the European Mechanics
Society (EUROMECH).
Professor Manzhirov has made important contributions to new mathematical methods for solving
problems in the fields of integral equations, mechanics of solids with accretion, contact mechanics,
and the theory of viscoelasticity and creep. He is an author of 3 books, 60 scientific publications,
and two patents.
