Soft cover. Condition: Good+. 1st Edition. 150 pp., internally clean, tight & unmarked but sl.open creasing to top outer edges throughout consistent with sustaining a bump - this hardly serious however. Printed issue card covers minimally worn, Jonkheere's sig. top fr.corner, sl.edge-browning and all somewhat dust-marked. Issued as Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development Vol. 30(1) this monograph essentially reports proceedings of a 1962 Conference on Mathematical Learning held in Berkeley CA. Bruner, Gagne, Kessen and Cronbach are among the contributors.…

Hardback. Condition: New. Illustrated. Advanced Topics in Linear Algebra presents, in an engaging style, novel topics linked through the Weyr matrix canonical form, a largely unknown cousin of the Jordan canonical form discovered by Eduard Weyr in 1885. The book also develops much linear algebra unconnected to canonical forms, that has not previously appeared in book form. It presents common applications of Weyr form, including matrix commutativity problems, approximate simultaneous diagonalization, and algebraic geometry, with the latter two having topical connections to phylogenetic invariants in biomathematics and multivariate interpolation. The Weyr form clearly outperforms the Jordan form in many situations, particularly where two or more commuting matrices are involved, due to the block upper triangular form a Weyr matrix forces on any commuting matrix. In this book, the authors develop the Weyr form from scratch, and include an algorithm for computing it. The Weyr form is also derived ring-theoretically in an entirely different way to the classical derivation of the Jordan form. A fascinating duality exists between the two forms that allows one to flip back and forth and exploit the combined powers of each. The book weaves together ideas from various mathematical disciplines, demonstrating dramatically the variety and unity of mathematics. Though the book's main focus is linear algebra, it also draws upon ideas from commutative and noncommutative ring theory, module theory, field theory, topology, and algebraic geometry.Advanced Topics in Linear Algebra offers self-contained accounts of the non-trivial results used from outside linear algebra, and lots of worked examples, thereby making it accessible to graduate students. Indeed, the scope of the book makes it an appealing graduate text, either as a reference or for an appropriately designed one or two semester course. A number of the authors' previously unpublished results appear as well.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "This groundbreaking translation . reveals the un-Beowulf-a riddling maze never seen before, a murder mystery of smoke and mirrors."- Robert Bjork, editor of Klaeber's Beowulf"Vinsonhaler presents startling new evidence for the poem's 'enigmatic design, ' in which good kings such as Beowulf and Hrothgar are repeatedly complicated by allusions to kin-murder, vengeance, and avarice, drawing them ever closer to the monsters they confront."- Francis Leneghan, Professor of Old English, University of OxfordWith a Foreword by Heather O'Donoghue (University of Oxford)Beowulf: An Epic Enigma (Book I) offers a revolutionary reappraisal of the Old English epic. Drawing on decades of scholarship and live performance, Chris Vinsonhaler, a former professor at the City University of New York and a recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship, presents Beowulf as a masterwork of enigmatic design that mounts a prophetic critique of heroic criminality beneath the veil of heroic praise.This undiscovered Beowulf emerges as a hybrid colossus straddling page and performance-careening from heroic valor to monstrous villainy, from heart-rending tragedy to mind-numbing horror, from funereal solemnity to satire, slapstick, and riotous farce.Further intensifying this terrain is the shadow of hidden crimes, a riddling undercurrent woven into the poem's coded signs and strategic silences. As these clues accumulate, the reader steps in as sleuth, tracing the ploys, false oaths, and murderous deceptions that underwrite the heroes' allure-including, especially, Beowulf himself.This richly illustrated volume reveals a literary tour de force: not the primitive artifact of popular imagination, but a shimmering labyrinth in which hero and monster, king and kin slayer, savior and destroyer emerge in a harrowing reflection of the human heart."This is absolutely not a Beowulf of epic praise, but a scathing expose of avarice, cultural nostalgia, and the perennial allure of violence."- Ophelia Eryn Hostetter, Professor of Old English, Rutgers-CamdenBook I confirms the poem's hidden logic, culminating in the Grendel cycle. Book II, forthcoming, follows that logic to its final reckoning. For more on the project, visit Beowulf.Live. Beowulf: An Epic Enigma (Book I) presents a bold new translation and commentary that reveals the poem as a riddling work shaped by concealed violence, moral irony, and mock-heroic satire.
