  • Research/Teaching Statement Gerard Awanou 1 Trivariate Splines
    Research/Teaching statement Gerard Awanou I would like to describe in this statement the research I have done and comment on future directions. My work has been on trivariate splines for scattered data in- terpolation and numerical solution of partial differential equations, particularly, the Navier-Stokes equations. Another line of my research is mathematical finance. I have been interested in risk minimization in regime switching and two factor stochastic volatility models. I will describe my recent success in the construction of a family of mixed elements for three dimensional elasticity, a problem which was open for over 40 years. 1 Trivariate splines Let us assume that Ω is a three dimensional domain with a triangulation 4, i.e. the union of nonoverlapping tetrahedra with the property that the intersection of any two tetrahedra is either empty, a common vertex, a common edge or a common face. A spline function of degree d and smoothness r over Ω is a r times differentiable func- tion which is a polynomial of degree d when restricted to each tetrahedron. Finite elements are examples of spline functions. Scattered data interpolation A typical problem in surface design is the following: Given a set of scattered points in IR3, which are assumed to be at the vertices of a triangulation 4, find a spline with appropriate smoothness which interpolates the given data at the vertices. The resolution of this problem is by means of the construction of locally supported spline functions with high smoothness. I have implemented C1 spline functions in [6] on a special triangulation.

Podvia —Carl Sandburg, Chicago The City of Chicago has had its more than its share of murder, mayhem and disaster. All of these happenings attracted national attention; a few resulted in regulations that have improved health and safety. This is a listing of some of the most well-known Chicago tragedies. You might want to visit some or all of these places during your time in Chicago. Several of these are located within walking distance of the AALL Annual Meeting. Some others can be reached via public transportation. Be aware that not all of these locations are open to the public. Federal Regulations Gone Awry: The Sinking of the SS Eastland Chicago Riverwalk between LaSalle and Clark Streets The SS Eastland, a popular Chicago-based excursion boat, was launched in 1902. Known for its speed, the vessel had a design flaw that made it top-heavy. The problem was worsened following the passage of the Federal Seamen's Act in 1915. The act, adopted is response to the RMS Titanic disaster, required the retrofitting of a complete set of lifeboats on the Eastland. The additional weight made the unstable ship even more dangerous.

H. Auden replied “Philology,” the study of the historical development and structure of language. “You see,” said Auden, “every word, when studied closely enough, becomes a little lyric about itself.” Auden’s answer is elegant, even poetic, but in my view the most humanistic of the humanities is not philology, but bibliography: the study of textual artifacts, whether inscriptions, manuscripts, printed pages, or even digital materials. The aim of bibliography is to recognize and recover the human presences in every recorded text. In A. S. Byatt’s novel Possession, one of the protagonists recalls the moment that led him toward a life spent in libraries and archives: “when my father first handed me the handwritten pages [of a Victorian autograph letter], I felt…that the dead man had touched me from the past.” This encounter—in which the young man touches a textual artifact and, in turn, is touched by the historical, human presences it comprehends—is powerfully transformative. Students at Rare Book School learn to read historical texts with new eyes and a new sensibility—what the poet George Herbert called “quick-eyed love”— Michael F.

  • John Buchtel & Mark Dimunation H-10: The
    John Buchtel & Mark Dimunation H-10: The History of the Book, 200–2000 11–16 June 2017 Narrative Course Evaluations 1) Were the pre-course reading assignments useful? Did you do any additional preparation for your course? Are there any books or articles that you would like to see included in future years? Any that you might suggest removing? 1. The reading list was daunting and some repetition of material. Considering the amount of reading, I found Eisenstein impenetrable and too scholarly. Some of the suggested reading was easier to digest, especially publisher’s articles. 2. All were useful. A Short History of the Printed Word was probably the least useful. I’m going to look for better treatments of the subject (i.e., better written). 3. Yes, the readings were helpful, but I found it difficult to get to them all, much less any additional preparation. 4. Useful. I also watched videos online of printing processes. 5. All readings were relevant to the course. Having read all titles from the reading list provided a good basis of knowledge during classes. I doubt I would have been able to keep up with the pace of the class had I not read what was suggested. 6. The reading was very useful—surprised to have none on the discipline itself. Maybe Petrucci? 7. Yes, the pre-course reading provided a great groundwork for the information we learned in class. It helped me feel more comfortable with some of the topics I had no previous knowledge of, and those topics were reinforced and expounded on in class.
