Author Ernest Newman writes with exuberance and keen perception of Wolf's flowering as a composer and the birth of his song cycles the Keller songs, the Spanish, Morike, Goethe, and Eichendorff volumes in addition to critiquing a variety of other choral and instrumental works.

Based on an advanced class taught by a world-renowned mathematician for more than fifty years, the treatment introduces semi-Riemannian geometry and its principal physical application, Einstein's theory of general relativity, using the Cartan exterior calculus as a principal tool. Starting with an introduction to the various curvatures associated to a hypersurface embedded in Euclidean space, the text advances to a brief review of the differential and integral calculus on manifolds. A discussion of the fundamental notions of linear connections and their curvatures follows, along with considerations of Levi-Civita's theorem, bi-invariant metrics on a Lie group, Cartan calculations, Gauss's lemma, and variational formulas. Additional topics include the Hopf-Rinow, Myer's, and Frobenius theorems; special and general relativity; connections on principal and associated bundles; the star operator; superconnections; semi-Riemannian submersions; and Petrov types. Prerequisites include linear algebra and advanced calculus, preferably in the language of differential forms.", "author": "Shlomo Sternberg", "slug": "curvature-in-mathematics-and-physics-112473-9780486292717-shlomo-sternberg", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/9780486292717.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "112473", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/112473/curvature-in-mathematics-and-physics-112473-9780486292717-shlomo-sternberg", "bisac_codes": [ "MAT012030", "MAT038000" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9780486478555", "EISBN13": "9780486292717", "EISBN10": "0486292711" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010026202444" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000112472", "attributes": { "name": "Gangway!", "subtitle": "Sea Language Comes Ashore", "description": "\"A delight to all who enjoy the American language.\" The Christian Science MonitorLandlubbers use a remarkable number of terms and expressions that originated at sea, from \"casting about\" and \"learning the ropes\" to \"parting company,\" \"spinning a yarn,\" and \"going by the board.\" This readable dictionary of maritime vernacular offers concise explanations for the seagoing meanings behind \"catspaw,\" \"kick the bucket,\" \"kittle o' fish,\" \"palaver,\" \"three sheets in the wind,\" and other curious lingo.

Ware's new companions and their worldly views raise troubling questions that lead him to reexamine his commitment to Methodism and his vocation, as well as his faith in God.Author Harold Frederic, an internationally renowned correspondent for The New York Times, situated his 1896 novel in a fictional community modeled on his hometown of Utica, New York.
