Toward Conclusion -- Notes -- Bibliography -- IndexFrom the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries, the major cultures of southern India underwent a revolution in sensibility reminiscent of what had occurred in Renaissance Italy. During this time, the imagination came to be recognized as the defining feature of human beings. More than Real draws our attention to a period in Indian history that signified major civilizational change and the emergence of a new, proto-modern vision.In general, India conceived of the imagination as a causative agent: things we perceive are real because we imagine them. David Shulman illuminates this distinctiveness and shows how it differed radically from Western notions of reality and models of the mind. Shulman's explication offers insightful points of comparison with ancient Greek, medieval Islamic, and early modern European theories of mind, and returns Indology to its rightful position of intellectual relevance in the humanities.At a time when contemporary ideologies and language wars threaten to segregate the study of pre-modern India into linguistic silos, Shulman demonstrates through his virtuoso readings of important literary works-works translated lyrically by the author from Sanskrit, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam-that Sanskrit and the classical languages of southern India have been intimately interwoven for centuries.ImaginationHistoryCulture diffusionIndiaHistoryImaginationHistory.Culture diffusionHistory.153.30954Shulman David Dean1949-919288MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910972815103321More than real4365259UNINA04733nam 22006615 450 991030054510332120200704013112.03-319-78619-910.1007/978-3-319-78619-3(CKB)3810000000358875(DE-He213)978-3-319-78619-3(MiAaPQ)EBC6314134(PPN)22949062X(EXLCZ)99381000000035887520180621d2018 u| 0engurnn#008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierComputational Methods in Physics Compendium for Students /by Simon Širca, Martin Horvat2nd ed. 2018.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2018.1 online resource (XXIV, 880 p. 268 illus., 20 illus. in color.)Graduate Texts in Physics,1868-4513Includes index.3-319-78618-0 Basics of numerical analysis -- Solution of nonlinear equations -- Matrix methods -- Transformations of functions and signals -- Statistical description and modeling of data -- Modeling and analysis of time series -- Initial-value problems for ordinary differential equations -- Boundary-value problems for ordinary differential equations -- Difference methods for one-dimensional partial differential equations -- Difference methods for partial differential equations in more than one dim -- Spectral methods for partial differential equations -- Inverse methods.This book is intended to help advanced undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral students in their daily work by offering them a compendium of numerical methods. The choice of methods pays significant attention to error estimates, stability and convergence issues, as well as optimization of program execution speeds. Numerous examples are given throughout the chapters, followed by comprehensive end-of-chapter problems with a more pronounced physics background, while less stress is given to the explanation of individual algorithms. The readers are encouraged to develop a certain amount of skepticism and scrutiny instead of blindly following readily available commercial tools. The second edition has been enriched by a chapter on inverse problems dealing with the solution of integral equations, inverse Sturm-Liouville problems, as well as retrospective and recovery problems for partial differential equations. The revised text now includes an introduction to sparse matrix methods, the solution of matrix equations, and pseudospectra of matrices; it discusses the sparse Fourier, non-uniform Fourier and discrete wavelet transformations, the basics of non-linear regression and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test; it demonstrates the key concepts in solving stiff differential equations and the asymptotics of Sturm-Liouville eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. Among other updates, it also presents the techniques of state-space reconstruction, methods to calculate the matrix exponential, generate random permutations and compute stable derivatives.Graduate Texts in Physics,1868-4513PhysicsChemistry, Physical and theoreticalApplied mathematicsEngineering mathematicsComputer scienceMathematicsNumerical and Computational Physics, Simulationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19021Theoretical and Computational Chemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C25007Mathematical and Computational Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T11006Computational Science and Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M14026Physics.Chemistry, Physical and theoretical.Applied mathematics.Engineering mathematics.Computer scienceMathematics.Numerical and Computational Physics, Simulation.Theoretical and Computational Chemistry.Mathematical and Computational Engineering.Computational Science and Engineering.530.15Širca Simonauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut479103Horvat Martinauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910300545103321Computational Methods in Physics2519509UNINA
