Consider replacing \cdot with \times in the Russian version #18

I can see that you have replaced the occurrences of "minus" with $-$. Replacing \cdot would be nice, too.

I'm not entirely sure what's the difference between these two in all the contexts. Morduhai-Boltovskoi in the comments to his translation of the Elements uses both, for example: mb-times mb-cdot \times looks better, though, especially in Byrne's notation. If there's no difference, then, probably, I'll make this change in both versions. I've already replaced minus word with -, because word with \because symbol (which Byrne mentions but never uses) etc.
