Great collection of Cambridge/Oxford scholarship math questions
This is an out-of-print 1960s British classic at a level slightly tougher than the Advanced Placement Calculus BC test. It is basically a great collection of challenging but traditional Pure-Mathematics questions, many from the venerable Cambridge/Oxford math entrance exams for "Mathematical Scholarships & Exhibitions"; many of these are derived from first-year Math Tripos-like colleges-exam questions. These entrance exams were later replaced by easier STEP papers (sixth-form examination papers I/II/III) in the 1980s administered by OCR. Somewhat of a chronicle of a bygone era in rigorous high-school mathematics. Useful for U.S. freshman honors calculus classes. ... Read more

Product Description
99 Poets/1999 presents the work of ninety-nine poets in dialogue with one another across the divides of language, culture, and temperament. With contributions from the Americas, Eastern and Western Europe, the Middle East, Australia, New Zealand, and China, the volume features responses to questions posed by the guest editor Charles Bernstein—responses that range from historical to imaginary and from philosophical to poetic.

Each poet was asked to ponder a series of questions: Is identity an important issue for your work, and, if so, in what sense? What do you see as the most urgent, yet insufficiently addressed or considered, issue or issues for poetry and poetics at this moment? Do you see your work in the context of a national state, or in the context of international capital, or in some other context?

After years of exchange between the artists—through translations, readings, and visits—the result is a collection of unique and significant literary works, one that is richly suggestive for the future not only of poetry but of literary and cultural studies as well. ... Read more

Excerpt: William Joscelyn Arkell M.A.; D.Phil.; D.Sc.; FGS.; FRS. (9 June 1904 18 April 1958) was a British geologist and paleontologist, regarded as the leading authority on the Jurassic Period during the middle part of the 20th century. Arkell was born in Highworth, Wiltshire the youngest of a family of seven. His father, James Arkell was a partner in the prosperous family business Arkell's Brewery (which is still family owned today). His mother, Laura Jane Arkell was an artist of notable ability. New College, OxfordHe developed a deep love of the English countryside from an early age, gained in no doubt from the long family summer holidays spent at Swanage, Dorset. He was later educated at Wellington College in Berkshire, where his ability in Natural History was recognised and he was able to devote significant time to develop his knowledge of this subject. Indeed, he was a regular prize winner for his Natural History essays, one of which was a treatise on the Dorset Robber Flies (Asilidae). He also privately published a series of poems, Seven Poems, which reflected his love of nature and the outdoors. William Smith's geologic map with the Jurassic system crossing diagonally from left to right centred on Oxford near the centre of the map In October 1922, at the second attempt (due a failure in Latin), Arkell was admitted to New College, Oxford. He had initially intended to read entomology and despite being tutored by the great Julian Huxley, he decided that his career lay in geology and palaeontology. In 1925, he graduated with First Class Honours in geology. He remained at Oxford University after the award of the Burdett-Coutts research scholarship. His research topic involved the taxonomy of the bivalves from the Upper Jurassic C... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=9938836 ... Read more
