First editions both.
Matvey Tikhomandritskiy (1844-1921) was the professor of pure mathematics in Kharkiv at the university. This is one of his main works. As it was printed locally it’s quite rare.
Worldcat locates two copies at Brown and Stanford Universities.
Andrei Markov (1856-1922) was one of the most prominent mathematicians of his time. He studied under Pafnutiy Chebyshev and followed his footsteps in science as well. His main eld was mathematical analysis and this book is regarded as the primary source of his views.
He is also known as the keen defender of Leo Tolstoy when the writer was removed from the church. As a result of this protest Markov was rejected by the church as well in 1912.
Worldcat locates no copies of this important book.
