Great for Drosophila work or class over this model system.......2007-02-08

I'm a first year grad student, and I can't say enough good things about this book! It was extremely helpful in my lab rotation as well as my upper level genetics course (covered genetic model systems)

The Bible of the Fly Pusher!!!!!.......2002-08-26

A really must-have!!!
The basics, the tips,
all for manipulating drosophila at the beginning and even later.
Here you'll find a lot of informations about balancers, recombinations, how to do crosses, markers, etc...
A very good introduction to the drosophila world!

Book Description

The lecture courses of the CIME Summer School on Probabilistic Models for Nonlinear PDE's and their Numerical Applications (April 1995) had a three-fold emphasis: first, on the weak convergence of stochastic integrals; second, on the probabilistic interpretation and the particle approximation of equations coming from Physics (conservation laws, Boltzmann-like and Navier-Stokes equations); third, on the modelling of networks by interacting particle systems. This book, collecting the notes of these courses, will be useful to probabilists working on stochastic particle methods and on the approximation of SPDEs, in particular, to PhD students and young researchers.

Book Description

The lectures in this volume are the proceedings from the 1995 AMS-SIAM Summer Seminar in Applied Mathematics held in Park City, UT. The mathematical theory of real number algorithms was the subject of the conference, with emphasis on geometrical, algebraic, analytic, and foundational perspectives. Investigations on efficiency played a special role.

Book Description

This volume contains invited papers presented at the 16th Dundee Biennial Conference on Numerical Analysis held at the University of Dundee, 27-30 June, 1995. The Dundee Conferences are important events in the numerical analysis calendar, and the thirteen papers published here represent accounts of recent research work by leading numerical analysts covering a wide range of fields of interest. The book is a valuable guide to the direction of current research in many areas of numerical analysis. It will be of particular interest to graduate students and research workers concerned with the theory and application of numerical methods for solving ordinary and partial differential equations, with emphasis on problems in fluid dynamics. It also contains contributions to research into methods of linear algebra, numerical methods for optimisation problems and surface fitting.

Book Description

This book contains Hurwitz's seminal paper and describes its impact on the development of stability theory and other fields. The major emphasis, however, is on modern developments and applications in the theory of control and numerics. Stability of linear and nonlinear problems, time-dependent systems, discretizations of ordinary and partial differential equations, systems with time delay and multi- dimensional systems are given special attention. In addition, robust stability, pole placement and problems related to the stability radius are considered. This book is of interest to mathematicians and engineers working in the area of control theory and numerics.

Book Description

This is perhaps the last remaining field comprehended and used by mathematicians in all areas of the discipline. New inequalities are discovered every year, some for their intrinsic interest whilst others flow from results obtained in various branches of mathematics. The study of inequalities reflects the many and various aspects of mathematics. There are numerous applications in a wide variety of fields, from mathematical physics to biology and economics. This volume contains the proceedings of the General Inequalities 7 meeting held at Oberwolfach in November 1995. It is conceived in the spirit of the preceding volumes in the sense that it not only contains the latest results, but it is also a useful reference for lecturers and researchers.

An Indiana Children's Classic.......2006-09-17

The Bears of Blue River is a book I can heartily recommend parents to buy and read to their children. This book, about the many pioneer outdoors experiences of young Balser in the 1820's, is a great way to introduce youngsters to life in a simpler, yet challenging time. My children are captivated as they hang on every word of Balser's bear hunting exploits in the forests of the then-young State of Indiana. My Mother, who is 91 years of age, purchased the book for my young son, and wrote in the forward "Your Grandpa Wayne liked these stories when he was a boy". Eighty-five years later, his 12 year old and 4 year old grandsons are equally enthusiastic. Don't miss this one for your sons!

Bears of Blue River - Favorite Book.......2006-08-30

In 1953 I started first-grade in southern Indiana. My teacher, Pearl Monroe, read Charles Major's 1900 Bears of Blue River to us. She, also, read it to my father in a one-room school house. It was my favorite book. There was one sad part in the book where Mrs. Monroe always cried. She would have an older student finish the chapter. In about 1980, I read it to my kindergarten age son. I also cried when the Polly died in an explosion that killed the dreaded Fire Bear. About five years ago, in a used book store in Colorado. I read it to my father who was in his 80's. Together we enjoyed the memories it brought back. This year I started teaching fourth-grade at the Odessa Christian School here in Odessa, TX - having just retired after 21 years with the pubilc schools. I just finished reading this marvelous adventure story to my class. They all acclaimed that it was the best book they ever heard read. I highly recommend this book and the sequel, Uncle Tom Andy Bill. Donald Potter

The Bears of Blue River.......2006-02-17

What a great book! My husband enjoyed the book when he was a boy. We shared it with our children. They loved it,too! Great adventures.

My Favorite.......2005-02-17

I am an elementary teacher in southern Indiana. I have read the Bears of Blue River to my students almost every year I have taught, which means I have read it to students for over 30 years. The only exception being that the teacher who had the class the previous year, had already read it. My students have always loved it. Many of them would check the book out of the library to read after I had read it to the class. Some of my former students remind me how much they loved that book. It is truly an enjoyable book, not only for kids, but for adults as well.

The Amazing Story of The Bears of Blue River.......2003-12-02

The Bears of Blue River was written by Charles Major a native of Indiana. The story takes place in the early nineteenth century in rural Indiana. Indiana was just a baby state during the time of the story.
The characters of this story are very significant. Balser Brent and his wife moved their family including three children, Little Balser, a younger brother Jim and a one year old sister, to Indiana. The family moved from North Carolina. When they moved to Indiana the family purchased 80 acres of land. The land was located on the east bank of the Big Blue River.
Little Balser is the main character of the book. He was a very brave young man. He was brave because he always had encounters with bears and wildlife. One day Little Balsers mother told him to go fishing and take his fathers gun incase he ran into some bears. As he was on his way back home with the fish he had caught, he ran into a bear. It was standing in front of Balser. Balser fed the bear one of the fish and then Balser shot the bear with his father's gun.
Little Balser had a big dream to own his own gun someday. Balser helped a young couple to escape to be married. The couple wanted to repay Balser, but they didn't know how. So they asked Balser if there was something they could bring him. Balser told them he really wanted his own gun. A few weeks later the couple brought Balser back his very own gun from Indianapolis.
There are many other exciting adventures with Balser. One significant part is when Balser and his father found two cubs in a cave close to Conns Creek. They had killed the momma and papa bears, so Balser took the cubs home to raise. Balser named the cubs Tom and Jerry. This is significant because the statue on the north end of the circle in Shelbyville, Indiana is Balser holding up the two cubs. Every summer Shelbyville holds a celebration "The Bears of Blue River." The celebration consists of a parade and entertainment to remember Shelbyville, Indiana and how it once was in the past
