In 1974 O. Zhautykov jointly with K. Valeyev published monograph "Infinite Differential Equation Systems". The book met with wide recognition far beyond the USSR. In 1976 O. Zhautykov was awarded with the rank of laureate of the State Prize of the Kazakh SSR in the field of science and engineering.
