Download or read book Approximation Theory written by Ole Christensen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2004-03-18 with total page 1080 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This concisely written book gives an elementary introduction to a classical area of mathematics—approximation theory—in a way that naturally leads to the modern field of wavelets. The exposition, driven by ideas rather than technical details and proofs, demonstrates the dynamic nature of mathematics and the influence of classical disciplines on many areas of modern mathematics and applications. Key features and topics: * Description of wavelets in words rather than mathematical symbols * Elementary introduction to approximation using polynomials (Weierstrass’ and Taylor’s theorems) * Introduction to infinite series, with emphasis on approximation-theoretic aspects * Introduction to Fourier analysis * Numerous classical, illustrative examples and constructions * Discussion of the role of wavelets in digital signal processing and data compression, such as the FBI’s use of wavelets to store fingerprints * Minimal prerequisites: elementary calculus * Exercises that may be used in undergraduate and graduate courses on infinite series and Fourier series Approximation Theory: From Taylor Polynomials to Wavelets will be an excellent textbook or self-study reference for students and instructors in pure and applied mathematics, mathematical physics, and engineering. Readers will find motivation and background material pointing toward advanced literature and research topics in pure and applied harmonic analysis and related areas.

Download or read book Per el afortunado written by Henrik Pontoppidan and published by Ediciones de la Torre. This book was released on 2008-06 with total page 954 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Escrita a caballo entre el siglo XIX y el siglo XX, nos sumerge de lleno en la crisis cultural y social que sacude al continente con la irrupción de la modernidad y que no es sino un preámbulo de la crisis de identidad del hombre actual. Por la maestría en la disección de toda una época, la novela de Pontoppidan es sólo comparable a las del alemán Thomas Mann, pero la complejidad de sus personajes y la furia con que se debaten contra su destino la emparentan sobre todo con la obra de Dostoievski, el gran novelista ruso.

Download or read book Mexican Costumbrismo written by Mey-Yen Moriuchi and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The years following Mexican independence in 1821 were critical to the development of social, racial, and national identities. The visual arts played a decisive role in this process of self-definition. Mexican Costumbrismo reorients current understanding of this key period in the history of Mexican art by focusing on a distinctive genre of painting that emerged between 1821 and 1890: costumbrismo. In contrast to the neoclassical work favored by the Mexican academy, costumbrista artists portrayed the quotidian lives of the lower to middle classes, their clothes, food, dwellings, and occupations. Based on observations of similitude and difference, costumbrista imagery constructed stereotypes of behavioral and biological traits associated with distinct racial and social classes. In doing so, Mey-Yen Moriuchi argues, these works engaged with notions of universality and difference, contributed to the documentation and reification of social and racial types, and transformed the way Mexicans saw themselves, as well as how other nations saw them, during a time of rapid change for all aspects of national identity. Carefully researched and featuring more than thirty full-color exemplary reproductions of period work, Moriuchi’s study is a provocative art-historical examination of costumbrismo’s lasting impact on Mexican identity and history.

Download or read book Alemania written by Julio Camba and published by Editorial Renacimiento. This book was released on 2012-11-07 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro, Alemania. impresiones de un español, fue publicado hace casi un siglo, en 1916, y no es más que un puñado de crónicas periodísticas sobre la Alemania de 1912, aunque también sea mucho más. La Alemania que retrató Camba ya no existe, en realidad ni siquiera existía ya cuando se publicó el libro en plena Primera Guerra Mundial, pero es la Alemania de Camba, el primer gran periodista del siglo xx. Sus brevísimos y acerados artículos conspiran unánimemente contra la solemnidad y el lugar común y son un prodigio de observación y naturalidad, además de encerrar siempre una inmensa carga humorística de raíz hondamente galaica. A Camba, a todo Camba, pero en especial al primero, el más bien humorado y el más escéptico, puede seguir, tras casi 100 años, leyéndosele como lo que es, un escritor plenamente actual, un escritor de nuestro tiempo. Julio Camba Andreu (Vilanova de Arousa, 1884-Madrid, 1962) fue durante la segunda y tercera década del siglo XX uno de los más singulares corresponsales extranjeros que haya tenido nunca la prensa española. Su maestría no ha dejado de ser elogiada por escritores tan distintos y variados como Miguel Delibes, Francisco Umbral, Cándido, Manuel Vicent o Antonio Muñoz Molina. A los dieciséis años se escapó de casa y llegó hasta Buenos Aires. Allí se introdujo en los círculos anarquistas y redactó incendiarias proclamas y panfletos. Al final fue deportado del país junto con otros anarquistas. De regreso a España empezó a colaborar en la prensa local gallega y en publicaciones revolucionarias del Madrid de comienzos de siglo, y su prosa no tardó en ocupar las columnas de los más importantes periódicos (El País, España Nueva, La Correspondencia de España, El Mundo, La Tribuna, ABC, El Sol, Ahora...). De sus quince libros publicados, siete son crónicas de viaje para diversos periódicos: Playas, ciudades y montañas (Galicia, París y Suiza), Londres, Alemania (los tres de 1916), Un año en el otro mundo (1917) (Nueva York), La rana viajera (1920) (España), Aventuras de una peseta (1923) (Alemania, Londres, Italia y Portugal) y La ciudad automática (1932) (Nueva York de nuevo). Esta edición se presenta con un prólogo de Francisco Fuster y en ella se recogen las crónicas publicadas originalmente entre mayo de 1912 y enero de 1913 en La Tribuna, y, a partir de esta fecha y hasta marzo de 1915 en ABC.
