Vortragsauszüge der Tagung über numerische Methoden der Approximationstheorie vom 25. bis 31. Mai 1975 im Mathematischen Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach (Schwarzwald)

By: Meinardus,Collatz,Werner

Der vorliegende Band stellt Vortragsmanuskripte einer am Mathematischen Forschungsinstitut, Oberwolfach, in der Zeit vom 25. bis 31. Mai 1975 veran stalteten Tagung zusammen, die unter der Leitung der Unterzeichner stand. Die letzten dieser Tagungen über numerische Methoden der Approximations theorie fanden 1971 und 1973 statt - der Schwerpunkt lag bei Fragen der Numerik von Algorithmen zur Darstellung von Funktionen -, ließen aber bereits ein wachsendes Interesse an Anwendungen erkennen. Die diesjährige Tagung war gekennzeichnet durch die Behandlung praktischer AufgabensteI lungen sowie durch die Einbeziehung der Anwendungen aus Nachbargebie ten bzw. die Verwendung der Methoden dieser Gebiete in der Approxima tionstheorie, insbesondere wurde auch auf die Beziehungen von Optimierung und Kontrolltheorie zu speziellen approximationstheoretischen Aufgaben eingegangen. Der starke Einfluß auf die numerischen Methoden zur Behand lung von Differentialgleichungen wurde etwa bei der Methode der finiten Elemente oder bei Kollokationsaufgaben deutlich. So ist zu hoffen, daß auch diese Tagung dazu beigetragen hat, Theorie und Anwendungen wieder stärker zu verbinden. Die spezifische Atmosphäre des Forschungsinstituts stimulierte einen intensi ven, durch die breite internationale Streuung der Tagungsteilnehmer verstärk ten, fruchtbaren Gedankenaustausch. Zum Erfolg der Tagung trug - wie immer - die hervorragende Betreuung durch die Mitarbeiter und Angestellten des Forschungsinstituts und das verständnisvolle Entgegenkommen von Herrn Kollege Barner bei. Unser besonderer Dank gilt ferner dem Birkhäuser Verlag für die sehr gute Ausstattung des Buches. L. COLLATZ, G. MEINARDUS, H.

The American Vitruvius

An Architects' Handbook of Urban Design

By: Werner Hegemann,Elbert Peets

This atlas of architectural design advocates rational as well as humanistic principles in the development of the urban environment. Drawing upon the ideals that inspired the great Roman architect, it promotes the Vitruvian maxims of longevity, beauty, and commodity. It also defines the thinking behind modern American city planning. First published in 1922, The American Vitruvius arose from a collaboration between two students of American urbanism. Werner Hegemann, an urban planner, and Elbert Peets, a graduate of Harvard's School of Landscape Architecture, selected more than 1,200 plans, elevations, and perspective views. Their choices depict a tremendous variety of European and American structures dating from the Renaissance to the early twentieth century. Ranging from Rome's vast Piazza San Pietro to modest German and English garden suburbs, this volume explores all manner of urban design, including American college campuses, parks, and cemeteries; L'Enfant's plan of Washington, DC; and other civic centers. Design Book Review hailed this classic as "the most complete single-volume survey of canonical cases of urbanism," offering "a scintillating collection of uncommon and forgotten designs." An essential reference for every architect and student of architecture, this affordable edition is of particular value in light of the current New Urbanism trend.

Economic Decisions Under Uncertainty

Economic Decisions Under Uncertainty

By: Hans-Werner Sinn

The Fundamental Issues Involved Why do we need a theory of uncertainty? It is a fact that almost all man's economic decisions are made under conditions of uncertainty, but this fact alone does not provide a strong enough argument for making the effort necessary to generalize ordinary preference theory designed for a world of perfect certainty. In accordance with Occam's Razor, the mathematician may well welcome a generalization of assumptions even if it does not promise more than a restatement of known results. The economist, however, will only be well disposed towards making the effort if he can expect to achieve new insights and interesting results, for he is interested in the techniques necessary for the generalization only as means to an end, not as ends in themselves. A stronger reason for developing a theory of uncertainty, therefore, seems to be the fact that there are kinds of economic activities to which the non-stochastic preference theory has no access or has access only through highly artificial constructions. Such activities include portfolio decisions of wealth holders, speculation, and insurance. These will be considered in detail in the last chapter of the book. The main purpose of this book, however, is not to apply a theory of uncertainty to concrete economic problems, the purpose rather is to formulate such a theory.

Vulvovaginal Candidosis

Theory and Practice

By: Werner Mendling

Fungal infections in the female play an increasingly large role in everyday gynecological practice. This is the first book to deal comprehensively with vulvovaginal candidosis. Following an introduction outlining the incidence of yeasts in man, genital colonization in the female sex, yeast in pregnancy and neonatal mycoses, there is a description of the modes of infection and the known host reactions, as well as of the symptoms for diagnosis and therapy. Some 150 color illustrations depict all known facultative pathogenetic candida species and other potentially pathogenetic yeasts in pure culture and under the microscope. Clinical examples help explain the diagnosis and differential diagnosis. The volume provides the physician with handy, concise and practice-oriented guidelines to correct diagnosis and effective treatment of yeasts in the female patient.

Days of Twilight, Nights of Frenzy

A Memoir

By: Werner Schroeter,Claudia Lenssen

Werner Schroeter was a leading figure of New German Cinema. In more than forty films made between 1967 and 2008, including features, documentaries, and shorts, he ignored conventional narrative, creating instead dense, evocative collages of image and sound. For years, his work was eclipsed by contemporaries such as Wim Wenders, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Werner Herzog, and Alexander Kluge. Yet his work has become known to a wider audience through several recent retrospectives, including at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Written in the last years of his life, Days of Twilight, Nights of Frenzy sees Schroeter looking back at his life with the help of film critic and friend Claudia Lenssen. Born in 1945, Schroeter grew up near Heidelberg and spent just a few weeks in film school before leaving to create his earliest works. Over the years, he would work with acclaimed artists, including Marianne Hopps, Isabelle Huppert, Candy Darling, and Christine Kaufmann. In the 1970s, Schroeter also embarked on prolific parallel careers in theater and opera, where he worked in close collaboration with the legendary diva Maria Callas. His childhood; his travels in Italy, France, and Latin America; his coming out and subsequent life as an gay man in Europe; and his run-ins with Hollywood are but a few of the subjects Schroeter recalls with insights and characteristic understated humor. A sharp, lively, even funny memoir, Days of Twilight, Nights of Frenzy captures Schroeter’s extravagant life vividly over a vast prolific career, including many stories that might have been lost were it not for this book. It is sure to fascinate cinephiles and anyone interested in the culture around film and the arts.

Coherent Optics

Fundamentals and Applications

By: Werner Lauterborn,Thomas Kurz

Since the advent of the laser, coherent optics has developed at an ever increasing pace. There is no doubt about the reason. Coherent light, with its properties so different from the light we are surrounded by, lends itself to numerous applications in science, technology, and life. The bandwidth of coherent optics reaches from holography and interferometry, with its gravitational wave detectors, to the CD player for music, movies, and computers; from the laser scalpel, which allows surgical cutting in the interior of the eye without destruction of the layers penetrated in front of it, to optical information and data processing with its great impact on society. According to its importance, the foundations of coherent optics should be conveyed to students of natural sciences as early as possible to better prepare them for their future careers as physicists or engineers. The present book tries to serve this need: to promote the foundations of coherent optics. Special attention is paid to a thorough presentation of the fundamentals. This should enable the reader to follow the contemporary literature from a firm basis. The wealth of material, of course, makes necessary a restriction of the topics included. Therefore, from the main areas of optics, wave optics and the classical description oflight is given most ofthe space available. The book starts with a quick trip through the history of physics from the viewpoint of optics.

Adolph Menzel

The Quest for Reality

Adolph Menzel

The Quest for Reality

By: Werner Busch

The work of Adolph Menzel (1815–1905) is widely regarded as the epitome of realist art. From the very beginning of his career, he captured the beauty and horror of reality with unflinching precision, and he was a consummate master of atmosphere. A man of very short stature, Menzel was excluded from many aspects of life, and so his struggle with reality was also a struggle to assert himself. Werner Busch’s comprehensive new study sheds light on the biographical and historical events that shaped Menzel’s work and the course it took. Menzel’s paintings of the life of Frederick the Great still dominate our image of the monarch. Their modern perspective, however, neither glorified the king nor found favor with the Prussian royal family. After witnessing the horror of war in the aftermath of the Battle of Königgrätz, Menzel abandoned history painting. In Paris, he discovered the energy and bustle of the heroless metropolis; for the remainder of his career, he devoted himself to painting scenes of contemporary life. In this lavishly illustrated book, Busch examines the artist’s multifaceted oeuvre and brings the long nineteenth century into aesthetic focus.

Henri Rousseau

Dreams of the Jungle

By: Werner Schmalenbach,Henri Rousseau

Rousseau's series of jungle paintings was and still continues to be the subject of controversy. This book answers many of the questions surrounding Rousseau's importance as an artist and examines his paintings in a wider art-historical context. As a self-taught artist who started painting at the age of 40 and worked in an unorthodox, naive style, Rousseau had to struggle to overcome the derision of his contemporaries. That Rousseau succeeded in silencing his critics, winning wide admiration, including that of Picasso, the Surrealists and Wasily Kandinsky, owes much to the jungle paintings."--Amazon.
