Numerik linearer Gleichungssysteme: Direkte und iterative Verfahren (Springer-Lehrbuch)

Book Description

Dieses Buch gibt eine umfassende Darstellung der wichtigsten Verfahren zur numerischen Lösung von linearen Gleichungssystemen. Es benötigt zum Verständnis nur sehr geringe mathematische Vorkenntnisse, wie sie meist schon nach einem einsemestrigen Kurs in einem mathematischen oder ingenieurwissenschaftlichen Studiengang vorliegen. Aus diesem Grunde wendet sich das Buch nicht nur an Studierende der Mathematik, Wirtschaftsmathematik oder Technomathematik, sondern auch an den Natur- und Ingenieurwissenschaftler, der in vielen praktischen Anwendungen mit der Lösung von linearen Gleichungssystemen konfrontiert wird.

Inhaltlich beschäftigt sich das Buch sowohl mit den direkten als auch den iterativen Verfahren. Dabei wird großer Wert auf eine sorgfältige Herleitung dieser Verfahren gelegt. Ausserdem enthält das Buch sehr detaillierte Pseudocodes, mit deren Hilfe sich die jeweiligen Verfahren in einer beliebigen Programmiersprache sofort auf dem Computer realisieren lassen.

Im Einzelnen werden folgende Themenkreise behandelt: Direkte Verfahren für lineare Gleichungssysteme, Orthogonalisierungsverfahren für lineare Ausgleichsprobleme, Splitting-Methoden, CG-, GMRES- und zahlreiche weitere Krylov-Raum-Methoden, Mehrgitterverfahren.

Book Description

This is a reissue of Professor Batchelor's text on the theory of turbulent motion, which was first published by Cambridge University Press in 1953. It continues to be widely referred to in the professional literature of fluid mechanics, but has not been available for several years. This classic account includes an introduction to the study of homogeneous turbulence, including its mathematic representation and kinematics. Linear problems, such as the randomly-perturbed harmonic oscillator and turbulent flow through a wire gauze are then treated. The author also presents the general dynamics of decay, universal equilibrium theory, and the decay of energy-containing eddies. There is a renewed interest in turbulent motion, which finds applications in atmospheric physics, fluid mechanics, astrophysics, and planetary science.

This Library of America volume gathers all the long fiction published by the beloved Mississippi writer Eudora Welty. Throughout her long and storied career, Welty has been most famous, perhaps, for her short stories. But it's in her novels that she attempted some of her most ambitious and powerful creations: the idiosyncratic fable that is The Robber Bridegroom, drawing on legends, local history, folktale, and myth; the underrated, wickedly funny short novel The Ponder Heart; and Losing Battles, a familial epic 15 years in the making and begun in bits and pieces while Welty cared for her sick mother. In a strange inversion of the author's usual career trajectory, Welty's only attempt at a roman à clef came late in life, with the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Optimist's Daughter, the quiet, moving, largely autobiographical story of a woman coming to grips with her father's death. The novels alone earn Welty a place as one of the finest writers our century has produced; taken together with the Library of America companion volume, Stories, Essays, & Memoir, it's a body of work that William Maxwell calls "beyond human power of praising." Welty rarely strayed for long from the place of her birth, but her fiction is as capacious as the human heart itself. Like Faulkner, she has taken her own corner of Mississippi and made it encompass the world.

Mistress of Southern Fiction.......2006-12-21

Each new volume from The Library of America, the non-profit publisher that has become the de facto literary hall of fame, is a cause for celebration. Its goal of preserving in an enduring format the best fiction and non-fiction is a significant bulwark against the encroaching tides of cultural relativism that attempts to render any value judgments meaningless, as well as a consumer society that insists that if it ain't new, it ain't good.

In the case of Eudora Welty, we're given two volumes: a collection of five novels ("The Robber Bridegroom," "Delta Wedding," "The Ponder Heart," "Losing Battles" and the Pulitzer-winning "The Optimist's Daughter"), and another of her essays, her memoir "One Writer's Beginnings" and her short stories. From her first published short stories, "Lily Daw and the Three Ladies" in 1937, to her last novel in 1972, Welty captures with her highly readable style and sharp eye and ear the varieties and eccentricities of Southern life.

But while the South claims Welty as one of its own, she may not necessarily return the favor. Teh cause is both geographic and a matter of choice. Although she was born in Jackson, Miss., in 1909 and lived there all her life, her father was from Ohio and her mother from West Virginia, a state created by the Civil War that went for the Union. This isn't Margaret Mitchell we're talking about here.

Then, in her essay "Place in Fiction," she stresses that while it is important for a writer to capture the feeling of an area, it is not the paramount goal in fiction:

"It is through place that we put out roots ... but where those roots reach toward ... is the deep and running vein, eternal and consistent and everywhere purely itself, that feeds and is fed by the human understanding."

But what pedigree does not provide, her environment probably did, for her work contains those elements poularly associated with Southern fiction. "Delta Wedding" celebrates the Southern family through the sprawling Fairchild clan and its passel of sons, daughters, cousins, aunts, great-aunts, nieces and nephews, all involved in each others' lives to a degree rarely seen today.

Many of her stories revolve around characters marginalized by society, struggling to exist and reach out to others: the simple Lily Daw who tries to evade the determination of the town's ladies to either marry her off or send her to the asylum; the generous, slightly retarded Daniel Ponder who would give away everything he has at the drop of a hat; the demented Clytie in "A Curtain of Green," who rushes about looking in people's faces until, seeing her reflection in a barrel of rainwater, dives in and drowns.

Eudora Welty was a sharp, perceptive writer, and her enshrinement by the Library of America is most welcome.

Greatest living southern writer.......2001-06-15

I began my acquaintance with Eudora Welty's works in college with One Writer's Beginnings and fell in love with the lyrics of her writing. I moved on to her short stories where I believe Ms. Welty surely shines brightest, but her novels are almost as wonderful. Very few people have the depth of insight into the mind and motivations of southerners that Eudora Welty has. She is right up there with William Faulkner. She has the gift of seeing and conveying the universal experiences of her decidedly regional cast of characters.

Since this is a collection of all of Ms. Welty's novels it is difficult to give a concise review. Suffice it to say that for reading pleasure you will not spend better money. The Optimist's Daughter won the Pulitzer Prize, but Losing Battles may be even better (the novel centers on all of the family stories told at a huge family reunion--great framing device for so many wonderful tales). The Robber Bridegroom is a southern fairy tale.

Book Description

Legendary figures of Mississippi’s past-flatboatman Mike Fink and the dreaded Harp brothers-mingle with characters from Eudora Welty’s own imagination in an exuberant fantasy set along the Natchez Trace. Berry-stained bandit of the woods Jamie Lockhart steals Rosamond, the beautiful daughter of pioneer planter Clement Musgrove, to set in motion this frontier fairy tale. “For all her wild, rich fancy, Welty writes prose that is as disciplined as it is beautiful” (New Yorker).

A Rare, Neglected Masterpiece.......2005-08-07

Eudora Welty's second book, "The Robber Bridegroom," is an inspired synthesis of traditional American and European folktale recast in the deep south at the start of the 19th century. That this book handles such a challenge without sounding strained, pretentious, or self conscious is remarkable; that the prose is at once lush and fueled by a fast-paced narrative is even better. As with her other fiction, Welty's humor here never condescends, though it often exposes a darker, more violent reality than readers of "A Curtain of Green" might expect. The story is rife with familial betrayals, incidents of physical and sexual violence, and overt expressions of racism among the early settlers. Miraculously, these issues never burden the pace and joy of the narrative. Like Voltaire's "Candide," Welty's "The Robber Bridegroom" is a gentle satire that touches upon the more disturbing aspects of humanity while celebrating the same characters it satirizes. A one-of-a-kind book, and a must read for serious readers of American literature and world mythology.

Cupid and Psyche meets the American Tall Tale.......2004-05-17

Welty's first published novel is a retelling of Psyche and Cupid, with a decidedly American twist. Instead of turning the Greek myth into a fairy tale, she's created a delightfully unbelievable, far-fetched and bizarre "tall tale".

Many of the elements of a fairy tale are there--the wicked stepmother, the beautiful heroine, the naive and loving father, the handsome hero--but these are overshadowed by tall tale traits such as the superb stretching-of-the-truth skills by nearly everyone encountered from the mail rider who was swallowed by a crocodile to our heroine, Rosamond, who can't tell a truth to save her life.

The story takes place along the Natchez Trace in Mississippi with "Red Indians", robbers and a few famous American tall tale characters filling up the bad guy roster--with the hero, Jamie, switching sides regularly. Rosamond's father Clement Musgrove is a wealthy planter who meets Jamie at an inn and unwittingly brings his disruptive presence into Musgrove family.

Many deaths, lies, misunderstandings and berry stains later, Rosamond and Jamie do live happily ever after. . . and Rosamond even starts telling the truth. . . well mostly the truth, "it was all true but the blue canopy".

This fanciful tale is a well-executed, superbly written, pleasant read and it's only afterwards that one realizes that Welty added a bit of acid to this pleasurable brew.

A warped fairy tale.......2004-04-13

Eudora Welty borrowed from the old Brothers Grimm fairy tale 'The Robber Bridegroom' to create this story that is part fairy tale, part historical fantasy, and very strange. Instead of old Europe, the action takes place in the southern United States. The old characters are all there: the innocent daughter, the merchant father, the irascible thief who becomes the 'bridegroom', and some new people have been added. A wicked stepmother, a boy named Goat, and an Indian tribe are just a few of the extras.

Apparently some of the characters, like Mike Fink and the Harp brothers, were real people, or at least were part of American folklore. Welty combines old world and new world fairy tales to create something completely unique. If you know the story of the Robber Bridgroom, you'll see how Welty has slyly snuck in very subtle similarities (the bird in the cage), and you'll be astonished at how much the ending was changed from the original story.

The book moves with rapid speed through larger than life situations. The Indians cooked and ate the merchant's family and he and his daughter escaped, THEN he married the evil Salome, THEN some guy tried to kill him while he slept with his bag of gold, THEN Lockhart carried his daughter away naked, THEN... It becomes almost too frantic, and you might need to go back a few pages now and again to make sure you didn't miss something. It's probably not the best introduction to Welty, but it's one of her most colorful works. For an elegantly written, surrealist fairy tale, you can't do much better than this.

"The sun shone down of all our possessions. ".......2004-02-16

In Eudora Welty's tale "The Robber Bridegroom" wealthy planter Clement Musgrove has a tragic past. When captured by Indians years before, Musgrove lost his wife and son, but his precious daughter, Rosamond, survived. After this terrible incident, Musgrove's wealth grew, it seems, with amazingly good luck. But his greatest treasure is Rosamond. She's beautiful but she's also known to stretch the truth at times. One day she returns home naked with a tale that a disguised bandit took all of her clothes.

This Welty novel reads like a fairy tale. There's a wicked, ugly stepmother, and a creature named Goat she uses for her dirty work. I could say that this is a fairy tale for adults, but that has an unpleasant connotation.

I was absolutely delighted with the first half of the novel, but then it lost interest for me. I loved the planter and his family life, and the novel had a very strong moral point about the true worth of wealth and possessions. The wicked stepmother was great fun, and I laughed when she ordered Rosamond out to the wood hoping that something bad would happen to the poor girl. After Jamie Lockhart stole Rosamond, the novel seemed to lose its focus and control. The novel began very strongly with Musgrove's story of his capture by the Indians, but once the plot left the Musgrove family and moved onto the robber's lair, I found it not at all to my liking. There was a fresh, child-like innocence and purity to the first part of the story, but the second dark half of the novel did not match its promising beginning--displacedhuman

Astonishing.......2002-03-03

This lovely novella introduced Eudora Welty to the world. Now it can introduce you to Eudora Welty. A raucous, genre-bending mixture of historical fiction, romance novel, and tall tale -- all shot through with the compassion and psychological subtlety for which Welty would become famous -- _The Robber Bridegroom_ still holds a place of honor in Southern literature.

An excellent underknown musical.......2007-02-07

This show should be better known. I think it's just as good as "Big River" and in several ways much more complex. One of the few musicals that really combines country and folk and Broadway
effectively. It's a forgotten gem-- & cast all do a fine job too.

Be Forewarned.......2007-01-27

I was not prepared for how... um... redneck this production sounds. It makes BIG RIVER (a fave of mine) sound "citified." A LOT of WARBLING and drawling and vocal scooping. It's so thick, it actually distracts from the melody and music. But it sounds well-portrayed and energetic and funny. I just wasn't prepared for the kind of musical it is. No negatives intended.

"Sleepy Man" is a beautiful track, and if you love a clear soprano, it's a must-hear (try Emily Skinner's solo CD).

I write this review to steer those who may not like hillbilly country music in another direction.

BUY IT NOW.......2000-03-30

I have been looking for thisa for about 8 years on CD. My old 33 1/3 wore out and so did my cassette tape. I HAD TO HAVE THIS ON CD and it took calls all over the country as well as the internet and 8 years to find it... buy it now if you are interested it's a rarity.. By the way the samples are off by one so if you are not faliliar with this wonderful show don't get too confused just sit back and enjoy!

The Robber Bride Groom - Soundtrack Review -.......1999-11-27

The Robber Bride Groom is a wonderful production that has been one of the best kept secrets of Broadway. It's music is so lively and "foot stompin'" on CD that it makes you want to get up and square dance when you listen to it. Certainly you do not have to love country music to love these extraordinary musical pieces. "There's Nothin' Up", "Rosamund's Dream", and "Deeper In The Woods" are some of the most beautiful songs that you will ever hear. And "The Prickle Pear Bloom", "Two Heads", "Love Stolen", and "Goodbye Salome" are hilariously funny and entertaining. I would highly recommend this soundtrack to anyone!

an "unsung" musical hero.......1999-05-27

The Robber Bridegroom is one of a group of little known but wonderfully performable musicals. This recording, which features Barry Bostwick as the romantic hero of this bluegrass fantasy, gives you a little of the freewheeling flavor of the show. Written by the team that went on to give us Driving Miss Daisy, the story is based on a novella by Southern writer Eudora Welty. The bluegrass score is the foundation for this strange, funny, romantic love story, and the characters include a gentleman-by-day bandit-by-night hero, a wicked stepmother right out of a fairy tale, and a pair of bumbling villians, one of whom is a talking severed head! The songs are singable- listen to the lullaby Sleepy Man or the haunting Deeper in the Woods- the plot, hilarious. If you're a music theatre person, give this a try.
