Linear Programming (Modern Birkhäuser Classics)
To this reviewer's knowledge, this is the first book accessible to the upper division undergraduate or beginning graduate student that surveys linear programming from the Simplex Method via the Ellipsoid algorithm to Karmarkar's algorithm. Moreover, its point of view is algorithmic and thus it provides both a history and a case history of work in complexity theory.
TTC - Classics of British Literature Course No. 2400 48 lectures, 30 minutes/lecture Taught by John Sutherland, California Institute of Technology (Caltech) University College London Ph.D., Edinburgh University How does literature connect a nation to its past? And why does hearing a poem, attending a play, or reading a novel so often become more than the act itself? How do such works open windows into the historical, cultural, or intellectual worlds of the writers who created them? Few nations offer a literary legacy that addresses these questions as well as that of Great Britain. Reuploaded. Thanks to miaow!
In "Who Betrays Elizabeth Bennet?" John Sutherland unravels 34 literary puzzles in a sequel to his bestselling works "Is Heathcliff a Murderer?" and "Can Jane Eyre Be Happy?". As well as exploring new conundrums Sutherland revisits some previous puzzles with the help of readers who offer their own ingenious solutions. Victorian drug habits, sanitation and dentistry are only a few of the areas that shed light on the motives of some of literature's most famous characters: Elizabeth Bennet, Betsey Trotwood, Count Dracula, Anna Karenina, Alice and many more.
In Can Jane Eyre Be Happy? John Sutherland poses a further 32 literary puzzles in a sequel to his cult classic Is Heathcliff a Murderer? He explores the questions readers often ask but critics rarely discuss: Who gets what in Heathcliff's will? (Wuthering Heights), Who will Angel marry next? (Tess), How vulgar is Mrs. Elton? (Emma), Can Jane Eyre be happy? and many more.
