Few people become internationally recognized research mathematicians and famously successful university professors of that erudite subject, and not surprisingly a minuscule number of those few are visually impaired. In the Dark on the Sunny Side tells the story of one such individual. Larry Baggett was main-streamed in school long before main-streaming was at all common. On almost every occasion he was the first blind person involved in whatever was going on - the first blind student enrolled in the Orlando Public School System, the first blind student admitted to Davidson College, and the first blind doctoral student in mathematics at the University of Washington. Besides describing the various successes and failures Baggett experienced living in the dark on the sunny side, he displays in this volume his love of math and music by interspersing short musings on both topics, such as discussing how to figure out how many dominoes are in a set, the intricacies of jazz chord progressions, and the mysterious Comma of Pythagoras. 410 0$aMAA spectrum. 606 $aMathematicians$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aBlind$zUnited States$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMathematicians 615 0$aBlind 676 $a510.92 700 $aBaggett$b Lawrence W.$f1939-$066708 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462833703321 996 $aIn the dark on the sunny side$91980700 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02803 am 2200589 n 450 001 9910136755103321 005 20160407 010 $a2-35159-541-6 024 7 $a10.4000/books.ifpo.9172 035 $a(CKB)3710000000687032 035 $a(FrMaCLE)OB-ifpo-9172 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/46197 035 $a(PPN)19430454X 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000687032 100 $a20160525j|||||||| ||| 0 101 0 $afre 135 $auu||||||m|||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 14$aLes élites bagdadiennes au temps des Seldjoukides $eÉtude d?histoire sociale /$fVanessa Van Renterghem 210 $aBeyrouth $cPresses de l?Ifpo$d2016 215 $a1 online resource (Deux volumes : 552 + 500 p.) 311 $a2-35159-704-4 330 $aBagdad, grande métropole du monde arabo-musulman médiéval et siège du califat abbasside, fut au milieu du ve/xie siècle intégrée à l?empire oriental des Turcs seldjoukides. Restaurateurs du sunnisme, les sultans seldjoukides résidèrent peu à Bagdad, mais ils y fondèrent des institutions nouvelles : les madrasas, encouragèrent l?essor du soufisme et participèrent au développement urbain. Cette étude d?histoire sociale, fondée sur une approche prosopographique des sources arabes, décrit différents groupes élitaires bagdadiens et s?intéresse à leur fonctionnement (distinction, reproduction, rôle des lignages). À travers l?apparition de nouvelles élites administratives et militaires au service des Abbassides, elle retrace le phénomène progressif de redressement califal qui marqua le vie/xiie siècle. L?étude du cadre urbain fait apparaître Bagdad comme une ville en évolution permanente, marquée par l?interaction constante des élites avec le contexte urbain dont elles étaient issues. 517 $aélites bagdadiennes au temps des Seldjoukides 517 $aélites bagdadiennes au temps des Seldjoukides 606 $aHistory & Archaeology 606 $aBagdad 606 $ahistoire urbaine 606 $adynastie seljoukide 606 $aMoyen Âge 606 $ahistoire 606 $aIrak 610 $aIrak 610 $aMoyen Âge 610 $ahistoire 610 $aBagdad 610 $adynastie seljoukide 615 4$aHistory & Archaeology 615 4$aBagdad 615 4$ahistoire urbaine 615 4$adynastie seljoukide 615 4$aMoyen Âge 615 4$ahistoire 615 4$aIrak 700 $aVan Renterghem$b Vanessa$01329900 801 0$bFR-FrMaCLE 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136755103321 996 $aLes élites bagdadiennes au temps des Seldjoukides$93039647 997 $aUNINA
