The Adventures of an officer of Nelson's navy
These are the riveting recollections of an officer of the Royal
Navy-Nelson's navy-in the first years of the nineteenth century,
through the long wars with Britain's ancient enemy Spain and the
France of the Revolution, Consulate and of the newly crowned
Emperor Napoleon. Hoffman was a seaman who could inspire aspects of
the Hornblower character. Hoffman's was a naval career full of
incident and action. Joining the navy in 1793 he served in HMS
Blonde and HMS Hannibal in action off Martinique and in the
Channel. He was engaged in eighteen fierce boat actions before
being promoted to lieutenant of HMS Volage where he saw further
action against privateers off Cuba. After serving on the Monitor he
was posted to the famous HMS Tonnant and it was aboard her that
fought at Trafalgar-the greatest sea battle of the age. This
remarkable sailor's career continued on many ships voyages and
actions too numerous to recount here. It is enough to remark that
everyone interested in the Royal Navy during the great days of sail
will find much pleasure within these pages.
This proceedings volume gathers selected, revised papers presented
at the 51st Southeastern International Conference on Combinatorics,
Graph Theory and Computing (SEICCGTC 2020), held at Florida
Atlantic University in Boca Raton, USA, on March 9-13, 2020. The
SEICCGTC is broadly considered to be a trendsetter for other
conferences around the world - many of the ideas and themes first
discussed at it have subsequently been explored at other
conferences and symposia. The conference has been held annually
since 1970, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Boca Raton, Florida. Over
the years, it has grown to become the major annual conference in
its fields, and plays a major role in disseminating results and in
fostering collaborative work. This volume is intended for the
community of pure and applied mathematicians, in academia, industry
and government, working in combinatorics and graph theory, as well
as related areas of computer science and the interactions among
these fields.
