The critics are Denis Donoghue, Frank Kermode, and George Steiner, and their independence - a striking characteristic in a time of corporate criticism - is reflective of both their backgrounds (Donoghue's Catholic upbringing in Protestant-ruled Northern Ireland; Kermode's Manx beginnings; and Steiner's Jewish upbringing in pre-Holocaust Europe) and their temperaments. Each represents a party of one, a fact that has, on the one hand, made them the object of the occasional vituperative dismissal and, on the other, contributed to their influence and remarkable longevity." "Since the 1950s, Steiner, Donoghue, and Kermode have each maintained a highly public profile, regularly contributing to such influential publications as Encounter, New Yorker, New York Review of Books, Times Literary Supplement, and the London Review of Books. This aspect of their work receives particular attention in Uncommon Readers, for it illustrates a renewed interest in the role of the public critic, especially in relation to the genre of the literary-review essay, and signals a sustained conversation with an educated public - namely the common reader." "Knight makes the argument for the review essay as a serious and still viable genre, and he examines the three critics in light of this assumption. He expounds upon the critics' separate interests - Kermode's identification with discussions of canonicity, Steiner's with cultural politics, and Donoghue's with the persistent claims of the imagination - while also revealing the ways in which their work often reflects theological interests. Lastly, he attempts to adjudicate some of the conflicts that have arisen between these critics and other literary theorists (especially the post-structuralists), and to discuss the question of whether it is still possible for critics to work independently. Original and deliberative, Uncommon Readers presents a renewed defense of the tradition of the common reader."--Jacket. 606 $aCriticism$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aBook reviewing$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aHistory. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCriticism$xHistory 615 0$aBook reviewing$xHistory 676 $a801.950922 700 $aKnight$b Christopher J.$f1952-$01463750 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780530403321 996 $aUncommon readers$93673138 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03399nam 22005055 450 001 9910766887703321 005 20251008150515.0 010 $a3-031-39562-X 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-39562-8 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC30970227 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL30970227 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-39562-8 035 $a(CKB)29038596000041 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC31848999 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL31848999 035 $a(OCoLC)1414480109 035 $a(EXLCZ)9929038596000041 100 $a20231124d2023 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aApplied Linear Algebra and Matrix Methods /$fby Timothy G.

Function Spaces.-Bibliography.-Index. 330 $aThis textbook is designed for a first course in linear algebra for undergraduate students from a wide range of quantitative and data driven fields. By focusing on applications and implementation, students will be prepared to go on to apply the power of linear algebra in their own discipline. With an ever-increasing need to understand and solve real problems, this text aims to provide a growing and diverse group of students with an applied linear algebra toolkit they can use to successfully grapple with the complex world and the challenging problems that lie ahead. Applications such as least squares problems, information retrieval, linear regression, Markov processes, finding connections in networks, and more, are introduced on a small scale as early as possible and then explored in more generality as projects. Additionally, the book draws on the geometry of vectors and matrices as the basis for the mathematics, with the concept of orthogonality taking center stage. Important matrix factorizations as well as the concepts of eigenvalues and eigenvectors emerge organically from the interplay between matrix computations and geometry. The R files are extra and freely available. They include basic code and templates for many of the in-text examples, most of the projects, and solutions to selected exercises. As much as possible, data sets and matrix entries are included in the files, thus reducing the amount of manual data entry required. . 410 0$aSpringer Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics and Technology,$x1867-5514 606 $aAlgebras, Linear 606 $aLinear Algebra 615 0$aAlgebras, Linear. 615 14$aLinear Algebra. 676 $a512.5 700 $aFeeman$b Timothy G$0451114 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910766887703321 996 $aApplied Linear Algebra and Matrix Methods$93648621 997 $aUNINA
