Sommario/riassunto

A comprehensive introduction to the multidisciplinary applications of mathematical methods, revised and updated The second edition of Essentials of Mathematical Methods in Science and Engineering offers an introduction to the key mathematical concepts of advanced calculus, differential equations, complex analysis, and introductory mathematical physics for students in engineering and physics research. The book’s approachable style is designed in a modular format with each chapter covering a subject thoroughly and thus can be read independently. This updated second edition includes two new and extensive chapters that cover practical linear algebra and applications of linear algebra as well as a computer file that includes Matlab codes. To enhance understanding of the material presented, the text contains a collection of exercises at the end of each chapter. The author offers a coherent treatment of the topics with a style that makes the essential mathematical skills easily accessible to a multidisciplinary audience. This important text: •    Includes derivations with sufficient detail so that the reader can follow them without searching for results in other parts of the book •    Puts the emphasis on the analytic techniques •    Contains two new chapters that explore linear algebra and its



applications •    Includes Matlab codes that the readers can use to practice with the methods introduced in the book Written for students in science and engineering, this new edition of Essentials of Mathematical Methods in Science and Engineering maintains all the successful features of the first edition and includes new information.

Sommario/riassunto

"Holocaust artworks intuitively must fulfill at least two criteria: artistic (lest they be merely historical documents) and historical (lest they distort the Holocaust or become merely artworks). The Sense of Semblance locates this problematic within philosophical aesthetics, as a version of the conflict between aesthetic autonomy and heteronomy, and argues that Adorno's dialectic of aesthetic semblance describes the normative demand that artworks maintain a dynamic tension between the two. The Sense of Semblance aims to move beyond familiar debates surrounding postmodernism by demonstrating the usefulness of contemporary theories of meaning and understanding, including those



from the analytic tradition. Pickford shows how the causal theory of names, the philosophy of tacit knowledge, the analytic philosophy of quotation, Sartre's theory of the imaginary, the epistemology of testimony, and Walter Benjamin's dialectical image can help explicate how individual artworks fulfill artistic and historical desiderata. In close readings of Celan's poetry, Holocaust memorials in Berlin, the quotational artist Heimrad Backer, Claude Lanzmann's film Shoah, and Art Spiegelman's graphic novel Maus, Pickford offers interpretations that, in their precision, specificity, and clarity, inaugurate a dialogue between contemporary analytic philosophy and contemporary art. The Sense of Semblance is the first book to incorporate contemporary analytic philosophy in interpretations of art and architecture, literature, and film about the Holocaust"--
