This volume presents the rich history of the old amusement parks
and beach resorts frequented by Baltimoreans beginning in the 1870s
and stretching into the late 20th century. Readers may recognise
such popular amusement parks as Gwynn Oak, Carlin's, and Tolchester
Beach, and will learn about some of the more obscure places like
Frederick Road Park and Hollywood Park. Each of the major parks is
documented here, complete with a detailed history of the sites they
were built on, the creative owners behind the parks' inceptions,
the individuals and companies who provided the rides and
attractions, and, the people that happily travelled by boat,
streetcar, train and automobile to reach their favourite park or
resort. Like many sizable cities across the U.S. in the early
1900s, Baltimore offered numerous amusement parks and beach resorts
for city residents to attend. Some sprang up along the trolley
lines, others were beachside resorts typically reached by steamers
departing from Baltimore harbor. Sadly, Baltimore is no longer home
to a major amusement park. Most of the traditional amusement parks
built in the early part of 20th century have disappeared, many
falling victim to fire, changing social habits and rising land
values.
This book contains detailed lecture notes on six topics at the forefront of current research in numerical analysis and applied mathematics. Each set of notes presents a self-contained guide to a current research area and has an extensive bibliography. In addition, most of the notes contain detailed proofs of the key results. The notes start from a level suitable for first year graduate students in applied mathematics, mathematical analysis or numerical analysis, and proceed to current research topics. The reader should therefore be able to gain quickly an insight into the important results and techniques in each area without recourse to the large research literature. Current (unsolved) problems are also described and directions for future research are given. This book is also suitable for professional mathematicians who require a succinct and accurate account of recent research in areas parallel to their own, and graduates in mathematical sciences.
