Broadly organized around the applications of Fourier analysis,
"Methods of Applied Mathematics with a MATLAB Overview" covers both
classical applications in partial differential equations and
boundary value problems, as well as the concepts and methods
associated to the Laplace, Fourier, and discrete transforms.
Transform inversion problems are also examined, along with the
necessary background in complex variables. A final chapter treats
wavelets, short-time Fourier analysis, and geometrically-based
transforms. The computer program MATLAB is emphasized throughout,
and an introduction to MATLAB is provided in an appendix. Rich in
examples, illustrations, and exercises of varying difficulty, this
text can be used for a one- or two-semester course and is ideal for
students in pure and applied mathematics, physics, and engineering.
This book is a collection of editorial articles written by George
in the monthly newsletters he published over a period of thirty
years. Some are funny, some are inspirational, and some are nothing
more than information about the activities that may have been going
on at the time.
Is ventriloquism just for dummies? What is at stake in
neo-Victorian fiction's desire to 'talk back' to the nineteenth
century? This book explores the sexual politics of dialogues
between the nineteenth century and contemporary fiction, offering a
new insight into the concept of ventriloquism as a textual and
metatextual theme in literature.

Investigates the new world of computer conferencing and details how
writers use language when their social interaction is exclusively
enacted through text on screens.
This book examines interactive electronic discourse, exposing
use of language that has the immediacy characteristic of speech and
the permanence characteristic of writing. The authors created an
asynchronous mainframe conference for language and linguistics
classes in which they presented students with the task of analyzing
the language used in original newspaper reports of the 1960s Civil
Rights Sitlns. The authors observed how students wrote to each
other across a wide range of social and virtual settings, how they
built a real, if short-lived, community within and across campus
boundaries, and how they handled conflict while avoiding
confrontation on sensitive issues of race and power. The result is
a study that details how people use language when their social
interaction is exclusively enacted through text on screens, and how
their exchange is affected by computer conferencing.
The students who wrote in the electronic conferences faced two
interrelated tasks: participating in a multiparty "conversation"
and negotiating the individual identities they presented to one
another in their virtual space. Individual writers used their own
idiolects to influence the form and content of electronic
discourse, adapting their own tacit knowledge of conversational
strategies and written discourse to the new medium, as they created
a real, although temporary, community.
These books grew out of the perception that a number of important
conceptual and theoretical advances in research on small group
behavior had developed in recent years, but were scattered in
rather fragmentary fashion across a diverse literature. Thus, it
seemed useful to encourage the formulation of summary accounts. A
conference was held in Hamburg with the aim of not only encouraging
such developments, but also encouraging the integration of
theoretical approaches where possible. These two volumes are the
result. Current research on small groups falls roughly into two
moderately broad categories, and this classification is reflected
in the two books. Volume I addresses theoretical problems
associated with the consensual action of task-oriented small
groups, whereas Volume II focuses on interpersonal relations and
social processes within such groups. The two volumes differ
somewhat in that the conceptual work of Volume I tends to address
rather strictly defined problems of consensual action, some
approaches tending to the axiomatic, whereas the conceptual work
described in Volume II is generally less formal and rather general
in focus. However, both volumes represent current conceptual work
in small group research and can claim to have achieved the original
purpose of up-to-date conceptual summaries of progress on new
theoretical work.
