Ageev, Mihail Illarionovic; Alik, Vladimir Pavlovic; Galis, R.M.; Malyuk, L.V.; and Markov, Ju. I. - [Titled in Cyrillic: "Algol-60"]. Three Early Works by Russian Computer Scientists on Algorithms, Specifically Algol 60. (3 Volumes).

Moscow: Vychislitel'nyy Tsentr an SSSR, 1965-1966. [1966]. [1966]. - Three octavo softcover volumes, each measuring 8-3/4 inches high by 5-5/8 inches wide. Each book is bound in printed tan paper wrappers. The spines of these brittle covers are heavily chipped with tape repair to the tail of the first volume's spine. There is a tiny tear to the front edge of the first volume's front cover and a chip out from the bottom edge of the third volume's cover. These books published under the auspices of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR Computer Center, are issues number 1 through 3 of the General Programming Questions Series. The works consist of: Volume1: Ageev, Mihail Illarionovic. OSNOVY ALGORITMICHESKOGO YAZYKA ALGOL-60 [Titled in Cyrillic]: [Bases of Algorithmic Language Algol-60]. Published in Moscow in 1965. 121 & [3] pages, illustrated with a folding diagram. Volume 2: Ageev, Mihail Illarionovic; Alik, Vladimir Pavlovic; and Galis, R.M. ALGORITMY: 1-50 [Titled in Cyrillic]. Edited by M.I. Ageev. Published in Moscow in 1966. 105 & [2] pages. Volume 3: Ageev, Mihail Illarionovic; Alik, Vladimir Pavlovic; Malyuk, L.V.; and Markov, Ju. I. ALGORITMY: 51-100 [Titled in Cyrillic]. Edited by M.I. Ageev. Published in Moscow in 1966. 106 & [2] pages. Although the covers are darkened, chipped & fragile, the contents are in very good condition. A wonderful association, from the library of the American mathematician and computer scientist Phyllis Fox, with her name "P. Fox" lightly penciled at the top of the front cover of each volume. The American mathematician and computer scientist Phyllis Ann Fox earned her B.A. in mathematics at Wellesley College in 1944 and worked for General Electric's differential analyser project. Fox subsequently pursued her studies at the University of Colorado and MIT, earning her doctorate in mathematics under Chia-Chiao Lin in 1954 while also working as an assistant on MIT's Whirlwind project under Jay Forrester. Fox was involved in the early phases of computer science, working for the Computing Center of the United States Atomic Energy Commission at NYU on the numerical solution of partial differential equations on the Univac computer. Back at MIT in 1958, she was part of Forrester's team that wrote the DYNAMO programming language. A collaborator on the first LISP interpreter, she was the main author of the manual. She became a full professor at Newark College of Engineering in 1972 and consulted for Bell Labs on their highly portable numerics library. Good .
