This book illustrates how MAPLE can be used to supplement a
standard, elementary text in ordinary and partial differential
equation. MAPLE is used with several purposes in mind. The authors
are firm believers in the teaching of mathematics as an
experimental science where the student does numerous calculations
and then synthesizes these experiments into a general theory.
Projects based on the concept of writing generic programs test a
student's understanding of the theoretical material of the course.
A student who can solve a general problem certainly can solve a
specialized problem. The authors show MAPLE has a built-in program
for doing these problems. While it is important for the student to
learn MAPLES in built programs, using these alone removes the
student from the conceptual nature of differential equations. The
goal of the book is to teach the students enough about the computer
algebra system MAPLE so that it can be used in an investigative
way. The investigative materials which are present in the book are
done in desk calculator mode DCM, that is the calculations are in
the order command line followed by output line. Frequently, this
approach eventually leads to a program or procedure in MAPLE
designated by proc and completed by end proc. This book was
developed through ten years of instruction in the differential
equations course. Table of Contents 1. Introduction to the Maple

The Meaning of the Earth offers a retrospective on the work and
lives of the relentlessly controversial artists Gilbert &
George, connecting their beginnings as Living Sculptures to their
pictorial work of today. As Living Sculptures, Gilbert & George
offered two pieces of advice to their live audiences every morning:
‘Sit on the edge of your bed and think, “What do I want to say
to the world today?”’ and ‘Fuck the teachers!’ The Meaning
of the Earth offers a retrospective on the lives and work of the
relentlessly controversial artists, placing them within the context
of twentieth century British culture. Wolf Jahn tells the story of
how Gilbert & George found their identity in opposition to
pervasive ideas around social conformity and religion after meeting
in 1967. The artists staged an internal revolution, mining their
psyches to create visionary and unwaveringly modern art. The ‘two
people but one artist’ ask the questions that gnaw at us all:
‘Where do we come from?’, ‘Who are we?’ and ‘Where are we
going?’ The book meditates on the artists’ role in this
century, connecting their beginnings as Living Sculptures to their
pictorial work of today. The Meaning of the Earth is a continuation
of Jahn’s 1989 work, The Art of Gilbert & George. The author
writes a playful philosophical interrogation of Gilbert &
George’s work that truly grasps its cosmic scale.
In the special edition to celebrate the opening of the Gilbert
& George Centre in London, writer, novelist and cultural
commentator Michael Bracewell explores the paradise behind The
Paradisical Pictures; the thirty-five artworks made by Gilbert
& George in 2019. The special edition of The Paradisical
Pictures is created to celebrate the opening of the Gilbert &
George Centre in East London. It features 11 different metallic
foils on the cover and a pink foil edging around the book. Writer,
novelist and cultural commentator Michael Bracewell explores the
paradise behind The Paradisical Pictures; the thirty-five artworks
made by Gilbert & George in 2019. The artists’ work confounds
and rejects all art historical classification or affiliation to
other schools or movements in art. As affirmed by The Paradisical
Pictures, there is no formalist, aesthetic or conceptual precedent
to the ideology and vision they convey with such intensity. The
paintings are fantastical, allegorical, narrative,
representational, psychedelic, absurdist, modern yet archaic,
surrealist-grotesque, inflected with both tragedy and comedy,
filled with pathos, touchingly eloquent of human frailty, age and
exhaustion. The art of Gilbert & George is a visionary one
above all, which reports from a cosmic journey through life that
begins on the streets of London. The Paradisical Pictures suggest a
chapter in a story that has been unfolding before them and will
continue beyond them. This paradise is not a destination but a
stage on a longer journey. It is a dream of paradise and an
exploration of an archetype that is both secular and sacred. The
paradise of these Paradisical Pictures proposes a more ambivalent
view – a place of biomorphic mutation, exhaustion, watchfulness
and possession.
Series editor Hans Ulrich Obrist here collects seven years worth of
interviews with the hugely influential British artistic
collaborators Gilbert & George, providing an intimate vision of
what they consider the most important landmarks in their
four-decade-long career together. Many of the conversations are
delightfully performative.

First published in 1974, Dark Shadow was created by Gilbert &
George as a 'living sculpture book’. Long out of print, this new
edition enables anyone to own a little piece of their art. Gilbert
& George describe Dark Shadow as a living sculpture book, a
‘result of our past three years of earnest daily thoughts,
shadows, deeds, cares and pleasures.’ Written by the artists,
Dark Shadow offers a unique perspective on their work and an
insight into their minds. Like their art, Gilbert & George’s
writing is irreverent, rebellious, fantastical, often funny and
deeply poetic. Each book is a piece of art in itself; uniquely
bound in hand marbled cloth created by the pair. Dark Shadow is
structured into eight chapters, which elaborate on different
aspects of their work such as ‘Gordons Gin’, ‘Bloody Life’
and ‘Human Bondage’. It includes original photographs of
Gilbert & George, their famous home in Spitalfields and
paintings. As is emblazoned on the cover, Dark Shadow is a
continuation of their lifelong agenda ‘Art for All.’
