„Bin ihnen begegnet, den G?ttern und Halbg?ttern“ … unter strahlend blauem Himmel, in zerkl?fteter, unber?hrter Landschaft und mit atemberaubendem Blick auf das ?g?ische Meer. Dieses Bild senkt sich im Kopf, denkt man an die Inselgruppe der Kykladen vor der griechischen K?ste. Hier spielten sie eine tragende Rolle. Denn die Kykladen, mit ihren Mythen, sind die heiligen Inseln der olympischen G?tter. Sie finden ihren Niederschlag in der Dichtung und Literatur eines Archilochos, Thukydides, Herodot und Ovid. Delos lud als Geburtsinsel des Gottes Apollon mit ausgefeilter Wohnkultur zu n?chtlichem Gelage; einem Luxus der auf den Ertr?gen aus grausamem Sklavenhandel auf den M?rkten der Insel gr?ndete. Naxos erz?hlt die Geschichte einer verratenen Liebe; Ariadne, verlassen vom treuelosen Theseus, gerettet von Dionysos, der auf Naxos in Yria ein bedeutendes Heiligtum besa?. Sein g?ttlicher Halbbruder Apollon sollte gar einen kolossalen Tempel erhalten, den man zwar nie fertigstellte, dessen Tor aber zum Wahrzeichen der Insel wurde. Melos durch Obsidian-Vorkommen seit Urzeiten reich, ist Schauplatz eines vom Historiker Thukydides im 5. Jahrhundert v. Chr. in Szene gesetzten Dialogs, in dem es um Macht und Recht geht. Wunder gibt es immer wieder! Das zeigt die Gottesverehrung auf Tenos. Einst war es Poseidon, auf den Verzweifelte und Kranke alle Hoffnung setzten und dabei nicht selten durch wundersame Heilungen belohnt wurden. Heute ist es die Gottesmutter Maria, deren wundert?tiges Bildnis in einer Wallfahrtskirche verehrt wird. Und dann ist da noch Thera / Santorin, deren unbeschreibliche Sch?nheit das Ergebnis einer der gr??ten Naturkatastrophen aller Zeiten war – die uns aber gleichzeitig Momentaufnahmen des Lebens vor ?ber 3.000 Jahren geschenkt hat.

This book is a detailed and step-by-step introduction to the mathematical foundations of ordinary and partial differential equations, their approximation by the finite difference method and applications to computational finance. The book is structured so that it can be read by beginners, novices and expert users. Part A Mathematical Foundation for One-Factor Problems Chapters 1 to 7 introduce the mathematical and numerical analysis concepts that are needed to understand the finite difference method and its application to computational finance. Part B Mathematical Foundation for Two-Factor Problems Chapters 8 to 13 discuss a number of rigorous mathematical techniques relating to elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations in two space variables. In particular, we develop strategies to preprocess and modify a PDE before we approximate it by the finite difference method, thus avoiding ad-hoc and heuristic tricks. Part C The Foundations of the Finite Difference Method (FDM) Chapters 14 to 17 introduce the mathematical background to the finite difference method for initial boundary value problems for parabolic PDEs. It encapsulates all the background information to construct stable and accurate finite difference schemes. Part D Advanced Finite Difference Schemes for Two-Factor Problems Chapters 18 to 22 introduce a number of modern finite difference methods to approximate the solution of two factor partial differential equations. This is the only book we know of that discusses these methods in any detail. Part E Test Cases in Computational Finance Chapters 23 to 26 are concerned with applications based on previous chapters. We discuss finite difference schemes for a wide range of one-factor and two-factor problems. This book is suitable as an entry-level introduction as well as a detailed treatment of modern methods as used by industry quants and MSc/MFE students in finance. The topics have applications to numerical analysis, science and engineering. More on computational finance and the author’s online courses, see www.datasim.nl.

Автор: Xenophon

Xenophon, after being exiled from Athens, spent the last years of his life hunting, writing, and recalling in his books the great days of the Persian expedition. This record of one of the most famous marches in history contains an account of the day-to-day life of ordinary men and soldiers. It demonstrates how Greek theories of government and morality worked out in practice-for with his admiration for the great, Xenophon had a rare ability to understand and describe the outlook of lesser men. His own fortunes, too, are intensely moving. Cool, calculating, brilliant, and intensely pious, he is one of the most fascinating characters of history, and his account of his own doings is so far from being self-conscious that he seems to be one of the very few Greeks whose ways and manners have been accurately documented.

The New York Times bestselling authors of Switch and Made to Stick explore why certain brief experiences can jolt, elevate and change us – and how we can learn to create such extraordinary moments in our life and work.What  if a teacher could design a lesson that he knew his students would  remember twenty years later? What if a doctor or nurse knew how to  orchestrate moments that would bring more comfort to patients? What if  you had a better sense of how to create memories that matter for your  children? Many of the defining moments in our lives are the  result of accident or luck – but why leave our most meaningful,  memorable moments to chance when we can create them?In The Power of Moments, Chip and Dan Heath explore the stories of people who have created standout  moments, from the owners who transformed an utterly mediocre hotel into one  of the best-loved properties in Los Angeles by conjuring moments of  magic for guests, to the scrappy  team that turned around one of the worst elementary schools in the  country by embracing an intervention that lasts less than an hour.Filled with remarkable tales and  practical insights, The Power of Moments proves we all have the power to transform  ordinary experiences into unforgettable ones.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is arguably the most significant tool that marketeers have to push online content. As the hub of the computational engineering fields, SEO encompasses technical, editorial and link-building strategies, and is an integral part of our daily lives. As important as it is ubiquitous, SEO is needed for the development of a brand's website and online reputation. When a website is live, one of its priorities is to drive organic traffic towards it, in order to attract visibility. In order to achieve such an aim, many proactive measures must be put in place, advice followed and tips implemented. There should also be an understanding of the holistic connection between a website's HTML sources, content management system and its relationship with external websites too (SEO off-site). There are many different search engines in the world and depending on the international boundary, one web browser usually dominates the landscape. Google features prominently in SEO Management, but this book also goes into detail regarding Baidu SEO (China), Yandex SEO (Russia) and Naver SEO (South Korea). There is also guidance given on how to manage a SEO project.

What we can learn from a Renaissance nowhere  In 1516, a book was published in Latin with the enigmatic Greek-derived word as its title. Utopia—which could mean either “good-place” or “no-place”—gives a traveler’s account of a newly discovered island somewhere in the New World where the inhabitants enjoy a social order based purely on natural reason and justice. As the traveler describes the harmony, prosperity, and equality found there, a dramatic contrast is drawn between the ideal community he portrays and the poverty, crime, and often frightening political conditions of 16th century Europe. Written by Sir Thomas More (1477–1535)—then a rising intellectual star of the Renaissance and ultimately the advisor and friend of Henry VIII who was executed for his devoutly Catholic opposition to the king—Utopia is as complex as its author.  In the form of a Platonic dialogue,  Utopia  explores topics such as money, property, crime, education, religious tolerance, euthanasia, and feminism. Claimed as a paean to communism (Lenin had More’s name inscribed on a statue in Moscow) as often as it has been seen as a defense of traditional medieval values,  Utopia  began the lineage of utopian thinkers who use storytelling to explore new possibilities for human society—and remains as relevant today as when it was written in Antwerp 500 years ago. Explore the issues like feminism, euthanasia, and equality through Renaissance eyes Early communist tract or a defense of medieval values? You decide. Peer inside the enigmatic mind of the man who dared stand up to Henry VIII Appreciate the postmodern possibilities of Platonic dialogue Part of the bestselling Capstone Classics series edited by Tom Butler-Bowdon, this edition features an introduction from writer, economist, and historian Niall Kishtainy.
