But her life and influence merited this extraordinary tribute. She had been first the daughter-in-law and then the wife of a president. She had assisted her husband as a diplomat at three of the major capitals of Europe. She had served as a leading hostess and significant figure in Washington for three decades. And yet, a century and a half later, she is barely remembered. A Traveled First Lady: Writings of Louisa Catherine Adams seeks to correct that oversight by sharing Adams's remarkable experiences in her own words. These excerpts from diaries and memoirs recount her early years in London and Paris (to this day she is the only foreign-born first lady), her courtship and marriage to John Quincy Adams, her time in the lavish courts of Berlin and St. Petersburg as a diplomat's wife, and her years aiding John Quincy's political career in Washington. Emotional, critical, witty, and, in the Adams tradition, always frank, her writings draw sharp portraits of people from every station, both servants and members of the imperial court, and deliver clear, well-informed opinions about the major issues of her day. Telling the story of her own life, juxtaposed with rich descriptions of European courts, Washington political maneuvers, and the continuing Adams family drama, Louisa Catherine Adams demonstrates why she was once considered one of the preeminent women of the nineteenth century. 606 $aPresidents' spouses$zUnited States$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPresidents' spouses 676 $a973.5/5092 700 $aAdams$b Louisa Catherine$01044403 701 $aHogan$b Margaret A$01044404 701 $aTaylor$b C.

These techniques allow for the solution of problems that may be difficult to treat. Specifically, 2×2 operator matrices yield significant mathematical inequalities in various fields of operator theory and matrix analysis. The authors employ block matrices to simplify complicated problems. Operator matrices have garnered attention for their applications in quantum information and computing theories. Each chapter concludes with a diverse set of exercises and problems for readers, along with references to relevant literature. Some problems pose open questions, while others challenge readers and provide suggestions for future research. This book is suitable for an advanced undergraduate or graduate course and can be used in the classroom. It also serves as a valuable resource for researchers and students in mathematics and physics who have a basic understanding of linear algebra, functional analysis, and operator theory. 410 0$aFrontiers in Mathematics,$x1660-8054 606 $aOperator theory 606 $aOperator Theory 606 $aMatrius (Matemàtica)$2thub 606 $aTeoria d'operadors$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aOperator theory. 615 14$aOperator Theory. 615 7$aMatrius (Matemàtica) 615 7$aTeoria d'operadors. 676 $a512.9434 700 $aMoslehian$b Mohammad Sal$f1966-$01846345 702 $aOsaka$b Hiroyuki 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910886065703321 996 $aAdvanced Techniques with Block Matrices of Operators$94430650 997 $aUNINA
