Turner, Thomas Arildsen, Kathleen Kavanagh1st ed. 2018.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2018.1 online resource (X, 272 p. 56 illus., 7 illus. in color.) Texts in Computer Science,1868-095X3-319-89574-5 Motivation and Background -- Number Representations and Errors -- Numerical Calculus -- Linear Equations -- Iterative Solution of Nonlinear Equations -- Interpolation -- Differential Equations.This easy-to-understand textbook presents a modern approach to learning numerical methods (or scientific computing), with a unique focus on the modeling and applications of the mathematical content. Emphasis is placed on the need for, and methods of, scientific computing for a range of different types of problems, supplying the evidence and justification to motivate the reader. Practical guidance on coding the methods is also provided, through simple-to-follow examples using Python. Topics and features: Provides an accessible and applications-oriented approach, supported by working Python code for many of the methods Encourages both problem- and project-based learning through extensive examples, exercises, and projects drawn from practical applications Introduces the main concepts in modeling, python programming, number representation, and errors Explains the essential details of numerical calculus, linear, and nonlinear equations, including the multivariable Newton method Discusses interpolation and the numerical solution of differential equations, covering polynomial interpolation, splines, and the Euler, Runge–Kutta, and shooting methods Presents largely self-contained chapters, arranged in a logical order suitable for an introductory course on scientific computing Undergraduate students embarking on a first course on numerical methods or scientific computing will find this textbook to be an invaluable guide to the field, and to the application of these methods across such varied disciplines as computer science, engineering, mathematics, economics, the physical sciences, and social science.

Whereas feminist literary criticism has broadened the canon of war fiction to include narratives by and about women, queer scholars have seldom focused on literary representations of homosexuality during the war. Natalie Marena Nobitz closes a glaring gap in the critical attention of four novels dealing with the disruption of gender roles and institutionalised heteronormativity: Walter Baxter's Look Down in Mercy (1951), Mary Renault's The Charioteer (1953), Sarah Waters'The Night Watch (2006) and Adam Fitzroy's Make Do and Mend (2012).»Through her readings of these novels, Nobitz deftly explores how the war both policed and anabled outlawed queer desires.«Besprochen in:The Gay & Lesbian Review, 1 (2020), Dale BoylerDHIVA, Sommer 2020, Ulrich BrömmlingQueer studies ;Volume 19.Nobitz, History's Queer StoriesRetrieving and Navigating Homosexuality in British Fiction about the Second World WarBritish War LiteratureQueerHomosexualityMilitarySecond World WarGenderLiteratureBritish StudiesQueer TheoryGender StudiesGender HistoryLiterary StudiesBritish War LiteratureQueerHomosexualityMilitarySecond World WarGenderLiteratureBritish StudiesQueer TheoryGender StudiesGender HistoryLiterary Studies809.93353Nobitz Natalie Marena<p>Natalie Marena Nobitz, Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, Deutschland</p>aut1854797Knowledge Unlatched - KU Select 2020: Backlist Collectionfndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910476920003321History's Queer Stories4452638UNINA
