Comprised of more than 250 selections from Henry James's stories about writers, his critical and speculative essays, his Notebooks, Prefaces, and letters, this collection brings together for the first time, in a single, systematic volume, all the important passages in James's work which have implications for or ideas about his theory of fiction. The result is the most comprehensive, exhaustive, and innovative volume of fictional theory ever published; in many ways it is the consummation of James's contribution to letters. In a masterful introductory essay, James E. Miller Jr., presents...

This exciting and practical book for compiler construction combines history and development of several early programming languages together with sufficient theory to develop a compiler for an extensive language. The book reflects the author's views that compiler construction can best be learned by the actual implementation of a compiler. A source language, equivalent to early translating languages, is developed. An object language consisting entirely of numbers is also developed. The student will learn to write programs in the developed source and object language. Using the language C++, the...

This updated introduction to modern numerical analysis is a complete revision of a classic text originally written in Fortran but now featuring the programming language C++. It considers a relatively small number of basic concepts and techniques, focusing on how and why each method works. The authors offer careful consideration of error-analysis aspects related to the problems and algorithms.
The treatment also reviews and solidifies basic concepts from elementary calculus, emphasizing theory and proofs. It makes repeated use of the mean-value theorem, intermediate-value theorem, and...
