The Stolen Heir (Holly Black) Украденный наследник (Холли Блэк) /Книги на английском языке

Though numbering just 35 known works, the œuvre of Johannes Vermeer (1632–1675) is hailed as one of the most important and inspiring portfolios in art history. His paintings have prompted a New York Times best seller, a film starring Scarlett Johansson, and record visitor numbers at art institutions from Amsterdam to Washington. Vermeer’s subjects focus on daily domestic activities, from letter writing to music playing to preparations in the kitchen. The scenes astound with their meticulous detail, majestic planes of light, and with Vermeer’s extraordinary ability to draw out narrative intrigues. In such beloved paintings as Lady Standing at a Virginal, A Lady Writing a Letter with Her Maid and, most famously, the enigmatic, wide-eyed, and enchanting Girl with a Pearl Earring, Vermeer evokes not only the effects of substance and texture, but also the many stories and secrets that reside beneath the surface. Featuring all Vermeer’s known works and succinct, accessible texts, this essential introduction explores Vermeer’s leading place in art history and his unique ability to transform oil paint into a living, breathing scene of human life.

В учебнике излагается курс математики для программ подготовки бакалавров гуманитарных направлений. Книга отличается от подобных изданий как по набору используемых математических средств, так и по наполнению и структуре этого набора. Вторая важная особенность книги состоит в том, что наряду с классическим курсом математики для бакалавров читатель найдёт здесь элементы теории и применение компьютерных приложений с использованием мощного аппарата искусственных нейронных сетей (Neural Network Toolbox), нечёткой логики (Fuzzy Logic Toolbox), панельных данных (Panel Data) и др. Третье, главное отличие книги состоит в том, что взамен развлекательных приёмов, винегретного смешения различных разделов математики и нашпигованности фрагментами из истории математики, которыми страдают многие из новейших изданий, читателя встретят строгость определений, красота теорем и изящество их доказательств.
