Sommario/riassunto

This monograph gives a description of all algorithmic steps and a mathematical foundation for a special numerical method, namely the boundary-domain integral method (BDIM). This method is a generalization of the well-known boundary element method, but it is also applicable to linear elliptic systems with variable coefficients, especially to shell equations. The text should be understandable at the beginning graduate-level. It is addressed to researchers in the fields of numerical analysis and computational mechanics, and will be of interest to everyone looking at serious alternatives to the well-established finite element methods.

Sommario/riassunto

In the 1950s and 60s, John W. Allen told the people of southern Illinois about themselves about their region, its history, and its folkways in his series of newspaper articles, It Happened in Southern Illinois. Each installment of the series depicted a single item of interest a town, a building, an enterprise, a person, an event, a custom. Originally published in 1963, "Legends & Lore of Southern Illinois" brings together a selection of these articles preserving a valuable body of significant local history and cultural lore.During territorial times and early statehood, southern Illinois was the most populous and most influential part of the state. But the advent of the steamboat and the building of the National Road made the lands to the west and north



more easily accessible, and the later settlers struck out for the more expansive and fertile prairies. The effect of this movement was to isolate that section of the state known as Egypt and halt its development, creating what Allen termed an historical eddy. Bypassed as it was by the main current of westward expansion and economic growth, its culture changed very slowly. Methods, practices, and the tools of the pioneer continued in use for a long time. The improved highways and better means of communication of the twentieth century brought a marked change upon the region, and daily life no longer differed materially from that of other areas. Against such a cultural and historical backdrop, Mr. Allen wrote these sketches of the people of southern Illinois of their folkways and beliefs, their endeavors, successes, failures, and tragedies, and of the land to which they came. There are stories here of slaves and their masters, criminals, wandering peddlers, politicians, law courts and vigilantes, and of boat races on the rivers. Allen also looks at the region s earlier history, describing American Indian ruins, monuments, and artifacts as well as the native population s encounters with European settlers. Many of the vestiges of the region s past culture have all but disappeared, surviving only in museums and in the written record. This new paperback edition of "Legends & Lore of Southern Illinois "brings that past culture to life again in Allen s descriptive, engaging style.
