Paul Whiteman
In a career that spanned 60 years, Paul Whiteman changed the landscape of American music, beginning with his million-selling recordings in the early 1920s of “Whispering,” “Japanese Sandman,” and “Three O’Clock in the Morning.” Whiteman would then introduce “symphonic jazz,” a powerful blend of the classical and jazz idioms that represented a whole new approach to modern American music, influencing generations of bandleaders and composers. While some hold that at the close of the Roaring Twenties Whiteman’s musical hegemony quickly waned, Don Rayno illustrates in this second volume of Paul Whiteman: Pioneer in American Music how much of a dominant figure Whiteman remained...
Clovis Revisited
Explore the early days of Paleoindian archaeology in this engaging retrospective of Edgar B. Howard's Southwest Early Man Project, 1929-1937, cosponsored by the University Museum and the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. This book contains a detailed analysis of the world-famous Clovis artifacts, discovered among the bones of mammoths and extinct bison in the Dust Bowl of eastern New Mexico. Blending traditional and current ideas, the authors offer an extended reference to the lifeways of early humans in the Americas, accented by a series of unique insights on their origins and adaptations. Well appointed with photos, line illustrations, and schematics, Clovis Revisited is essential reading for professionals, students, and avocational enthusiasts. University Museum Monograph, 103
Numerische Methoden der Approximationstheorie/Numerical Methods of Approximation Theory
Der vorliegende Band stellt Vortragsmanuskripte einer am Mathematischen Forschungsinstitut, Oberwolfach, in der Zeit vom 25. bis 31. Mai 1975 veran stalteten Tagung zusammen, die unter der Leitung der Unterzeichner stand. Die letzten dieser Tagungen über numerische Methoden der Approximations theorie fanden 1971 und 1973 statt - der Schwerpunkt lag bei Fragen der Numerik von Algorithmen zur Darstellung von Funktionen -, ließen aber bereits ein wachsendes Interesse an Anwendungen erkennen. Die diesjährige Tagung war gekennzeichnet durch die Behandlung praktischer AufgabensteI lungen sowie durch die Einbeziehung der Anwendungen aus Nachbargebie ten bzw. die Verwendung der Methoden dieser Ge...
Finite Element Methods
"Based on the proceedings of the first conference on superconvergence held recently at the University of Jyvaskyla, Finland. Presents reviewed papers focusing on superconvergence phenomena in the finite element method. Surveys for the first time all known superconvergence techniques, including their proofs."
Numerical Approximation of Partial Differential Equations
This selection of papers is concerned with problems arising in the numerical solution of differential equations, with an emphasis on partial differential equations. There is a balance between theoretical studies of approximation processes, the analysis of specific numerical techniques and the discussion of their application to concrete problems relevant to engineering and science. Special consideration has been given to innovative numerical techniques and to the treatment of three-dimensional and singular problems. These topics are discussed in several of the invited papers. The contributed papers are divided into five parts: techniques of approximation theory which are basic to the numerical treatment of differential equations; numerical techniques based on discrete processes; innovative methods based on polynomial and rational approximation; variational inequalities, conformal transformation and asymptotic techniques; and applications of differential equations to problems in science and engineering.
