With Dmitrii Abramovich Raikov, Bronshtein authored a Russian handbook on elementary mathematics, mechanics and physics (Справочник по елементарнои математике, механике и физике), which was published in 1943.
[1] Bronshtein is known as the author of a handbook of mathematics for engineers and students of technical universities,[2] which he wrote together with Konstantin Adolfovic Semendyayev around the 1939/1940 timeframe.
Hot lead typesetting for the work had already started when the Siege of Leningrad prohibited further development and the print matrices were relocated.
[2] After the war, they were first considered lost, but could be found again years later, so that the first edition of Справочник по математике для инженеров и учащихся втузов could finally be published in 1945.
[2][3] However, in a parallel development starting in 1970, the so called "Bronshtein and Semendyayev" (BS), which had been translated into German in 1958, underwent a major overhaul by a team of East-German authors around Günter Grosche, Viktor & Dorothea Ziegler (of University of Leipzig), to which Bronshtein himself could no longer contribute due to reasons of age.
