What is Russian Math?

[LadyAberlin]

I see it mentioned every once in a while on here. What are the benefits to using it and are there any links for me to look at?
Thanks!

Here's the link: http://www.perpendicularpress.com/

I know next to nothing about it, tho!

I also found these:

And Russian Math Grades 1-3.

Myrtle, who hasn't been posting here lately, gave me two links. One is to the one at Perpendicular Press which has already been linked by another poster. It's the one I bought and I'm impressed with it so far. It is harder than Singapore Math 6, so I'm using it after. It could be used by older students, too.

The other link she gave me was this one (not sure if it's already been linked here). http://www.amazon.com/Mathematical-Circles-Russian-Experience-World/dp/0821804308
