Examples from texts

Цель его — дать возможность понять происхождение этого уравнения из физических соображений, а не взять его «с потолка», чтобы затем путем рассуждений найти его физическое обоснование.
Its purpose is to enable one to grasp the origin of the equation from the physical background, rather than requiring us to pick the equation out of the air, and then to deduce the physical background from the equation.
