Everyone knows the Grimm Brothers' tale about Princess Briar Rose -- the "Sleeping Beauty." :

Once upon a time there was a wonderful MAGAZINE OF MATH AND SCIENCE called QUANTUM,

but it went dormant like Sleeping Beauty. But now QUANTUM MAGAZINE appeared on Internet:

Now, we would like to show our papers from Quantum Magazine:

Below are links and attachments to the articles that were authored by Victor Gutenmacher , and by "Vaguten" --

the pen name of the collaboration between N.Vasilyev and V. Gutenmacher,

which blends their last names.

Divisive Devices (link)(Euclid’s algorithm, greatest common divisor, and fundamental

theorem of arithmetic), V. N. Vaguten, Sep/Oct91, p36 (Feature) , see also http://www.math.drexel.edu/~tolya/220_euclid.pdf

And Science (ВЗМШ Открытый Лицей «Всероссийская Заочная Многопредметная Школа» )

One can read brief biography sketches of Nikolay Vasiliyev on the last page of our Lines and Curves

The next paper

Close Fractions (see the attachment), V.N. Vaguten was published by AMS.

We had requests to translate a few

of our other papers from the Russian magazine KVANT to other languages.

The following papers were published in Russian. Следующие статьи изданы на русском языке (here are the links):
