Observations from the Ballpark
From today's chat: Drew
From today's chat:
Drew (FL): Gary, as a Cubs fan I've gone back and forth with my feelings towards Dusty. I happen to feel that he may be one of the worst in game managers i've ever watched, but at the same time the Cubs havent had a winning manager in so long that I dont want to take for granted the raised expectation levels Cubs fans have been treated with these last few yrs. Recently, his refusal to consistently play Matt Murton (whom I love) and stick with Hairston AND Patterson in the lineup has started to break the camels back.... The team is winning of late but they're probably meaningless games. What are your thoughts on Dusty in Chicago?
Gary Gillette: (3:02 PM ET ) Whew! I think Baker has followed the same path as many other managers in the past. He has become so full of himself and so resistant to criticism, even if well-intentioned and constructive, that he can no longer function as a good manager.
Gary Gillette: (3:04 PM ET ) IF is team is winning, he can write the names on the lineup card just like anyone else. But he has demonstrated his unwillingness to play younger players, his favoritism for non-productive veterans, and his lack of understanding on how to construct a lineup for years now. The Cubs should have fired him a long time ago.
[Gillette is the editor of The 2005 ESPN Baseball Encyclopedia, an ESPN.com MLB Insider and the Co-Chair of SABR Business of Baseball Committee.]
Damn, that burger sounds
Damn, that burger sounds good (in a "going to kill you" way).
Happy Birthday Dusty: Here's
Happy Birthday Dusty: Here's a whole book of gift certificates to Carl's Jr? Naaah. That'd just be wrong.
"Apparently that play,
"Apparently that play, coupled with a few nice catches on Thursday were enough for Brenly to tell us that Hairston takes better routes on balls than Patterson. Lack of long-term memory must be a wonderful way to go through life."
I guess it's not possible that Hairston's gotten better at getting to the ball as the year has progressed while Korey's gotten worse.
Nah, player's never regress in their skills.
the gap may have become
the gap may have become smaller, but hairston is still rather clueless while Patterson can still get 'em with the best. Is this really up for debate?
I live in SF and went to
I live in SF and went to both weekend games. Sucktastic teams, but like you said, good ballpark and good weather. Here's my list, in no particular order:
- Patterson's worse than I thought, and I never really liked him. When he had his last at-bat Sunday, the Giants fan sitting next to me in the bleachers and I agreed that I had as much chance of hitting the ball into play.
- Murton has more pop than I thought. His home run fell a few rows in front of me, and one of his fly ball outs probably went as far, but into the wrong part of the park.
- I like Nomar. Having him learn a little third makes sense too. They say that Cedeno is learning second and we know Walker can play first in a pinch. That means that with Aramis and Lee, the five of them can cover all four positions even if any one of them needs a day off or takes a short DL trip. We wouldn't need Macias, or even Neifi. (I can dream, no?)
- Speaking of Macias. I know it's long past time to stop complaining about every lineup move, but this weekend, I had to watch that idiot play second base - twice - so that Hairston (a second baseman) could play left field, and so that Walker and Murton could both sit on the bench. Never mind that both Walker and Murton are better hitters than both Hairston and Macias, and never mind that all of them are average in the field. If you have to make that double switch (and you don't, either time) do it in a way that leaves two out of three from Walker, Murton and Hairston in the game.
- Speaking of Neifi, after seeing him live I put my finger on another reason I don't like him. It's his showboating 'look at me I'm the onfield leader' style, always waving at other players and conferencing and sticking his chest out. Sure, it's good to have leaders paying attention to the number of outs, and sure the shortstop is supposed to do that stuff, but he's like the kid in the front row of class saying "look at me, look at me." I guess I just don't like him much.
- PS, Neifi has almost 500 at bats, behind only Burnitz and Lee on this year's team. If you knew only that fact, you'd pretty much be able to guess that this is a club that's lucky to break even.
- It's September, and your pinch hitting options are Patterson, Macias, and McClain. Good thing we've got a great farm system. Yuck.

Which probably means Cedeno is going on the DL
Rob--"In comes Jose Macias
Rob--"In comes Jose Macias to replace Todd Walker at second...Naturally Macias ended up getting a single in his only at-bat."
Every time Macias gets a hit these days I notice and think "damn, there's another week of playing time for him". On the other hand, I've become so used to Macias brand weak groundball outs that they don't really register any more. They're all the same, so they kind of blend into one. It's weird, but with all the outs hardly registering, with the obvious exception of the Macias pinch-hits for Matt Murton with two outs in the bottom of the ninth with the bases loaded and the tying run on third ones I mean, and the hits really sticking out in the mind, I do sometimes mistake Macias for a decent hitter. I can kind of see how Dusty's got himself into this situation right now. It's that he doesn't take the time to remind himself of the .277/.292/.328. Because I swear that Macias, when I watch him at least, does seem to be more of a .350/.352/.354 hitter. Always hitting those stupid singles that get him more playing time, always.

Very nice. I saw him in Lansing in May. I'm still stunned that he hit a 400-foot foul ball onto Larch Street ... which is going the other way for a right-handed batter. It was perhaps the most amazing swing I've ever seen a minor league player take. I should also mention that it was about 40 degrees out at the time. Not that it's evidence of anything per se, but I feel his plate approach is way more advanced than Soler was at this stage in his development and that the comparisons aren't really fair to Jimenez. 50/50 chance I'll go to Midland tonight for the low-A debut of Oscar de la Cruz.
Eloy Jimenez grand slam tonight. Hoping Soler power returns and gets hot but future looks bright in the outfield regardless.
Finished the night 4-5, with two doubles - 32(!) on the season - along with the grand slam. Sick
Meanwhile, out West:
SF is 2-11 since the break, lead over LA is down to one game, and they are running out Cain and Peavy this weekend against the Nats. Challenging times by the Bay.
Thanks for the updates Phil. Too bad about Frazier.
The Cubs have released RHRP Scott Frazier (2013 7th round dfraft pick - Pepperdine).
A Cubs pitching coach told me in Spring Training 2014 that he thought Frazier had the best pure stuff in the organization. Absolutely electric fastball & breaking ball combo. Other pitchers would gather behind the screen just to watch him throw "live" BP. That's how amazing he was.
Got a chance to see Diamondbacks RHSP Zack Greinke (15-day DL - strained oblique) throw a rehab start at Sloan Park Friday night. Four of the first seven AZL Cubs hitters singled and the Cubs did score an unearned run in the bottom of the 1st inning, but then Greinke got serious and struck out five in a row.
ZACK GREINKE: 3.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R (0 ER), 0 BB, 5 K, 4/0 GO/AO, 49 pitches (34 strikes)
Have fun - It may be good for Arrieta to be facing a team that doesn't know him as well as the NL teams. A nice shutout would do wonders for his confidence. He is confident in public but baseball is hard and he could use a boost, I'm sure.
Me too. I'll be at the game tomorrow and would love to see Good Arrieta.
Last few games have been the April version of the Cubs that disappeared completely the past two months.
Hope they can sustain it.
Don't sell yourself short, Judge.
I love this team.
Looks like Mother Nature is trying to call this fight.
Hey! I remember this team!
The key for Heyward's offense: get early leads. Heard a stat on Mike & Mike on the way to work that his avg/power much better this year when the Cubs have the lead. And true to form he gets the two run dinger with Cubs winning 3-0 ...
I'm sorry - I was probably not looking at the correct line, or spot, or...who knows!
I could blame it on the weed, but I stopped smoking many years ago.
Fortunately, I can rely on the rest of you sober and astute folks to bring the correct info forth.
Oh yeah! It just felt like one for some reason.
Agreed. I was not including Fowler or Heyward.
I'm just not a fan of 2016 Coghlan.....

Just one day after the Sierra Club announced it was urging members to reject the regional transportation tax, we learn of a new group that's itching to defeat the July 31 ballot measure.
Meet Transportation Leadership Coalition LLC, or Traffic Truth, an "all-volunteer organization" united "in the belief that the [state] can do a much better job of transportation planning than passing the largest tax hike in Georgia history and spending the money on politically favored rail projects, trapping us into a tax situation that will continue forever." That's a mouthful.
According to the group's press release issued yesterday (and which we've pasted after the jump), TLC was formed after 75 grassroots activists met at an "Adventure Outdoors in Marietta" to discuss the ballot measure. The group says it plans to "educate the public" with its website, email, and social media about the tax and the various claims of groups supporting the measure - some of which, TLC argues, are using taxpayer dollars to sell
The group says the rail projects that would be funded by the tax won't relieve traffic congestion,, that the more expensive projects would require "billions more" to complete than what was allocated, and that, contrary to talking points, "there is a 'Plan B.'"
Though some of the names listed on the press release have worked with metro Atlanta tea party groups in the past or describe themselves on Facebook as conservative, no other coalition members' names are listed.
A spokeswoman from Untie Atlanta, the business community's PR campaign to sway voters to pass the tax, told CL via email last night:
There was opposition to MARTA in the '60s; there was even opposition to building the biggest airport in the Southeast. We expected the opposition. But we'd be the size of Birmingham if metro Atlantans hadn't rejected the opposition's stance on MARTA and the airport. And we'll keep our competitive edge and create thousands more jobs if voters say "yes" and again reject the opposition's stance.
The "Transportation Leadership Coalition" is urging people to vote "no" to jobs, "no" to $19 billion in new income, "no" to making our region competitive with others, and an unbelievable "no" to more productivity and time spent with families instead of sitting snarled in traffic jams.
They're also voting "yes" for a tax - a congestion tax - now at $924 a year per commuter - that will only rise if our region fails to come together to address its biggest problem.
Every time we've faced big problems, we've risen to the occasion and met them with big solutions. This referendum is just the start of what the voters and our leaders are capable of accomplishing when we put our personal interests to the side and do what's best for the region.
TLC's full release after the jump.
On March 31, 2012, approximately 75 grassroots activists representing several organizations, along with elected officials who opposed the 1% sales tax, gathered at Adventure Outdoors in Marietta, Georgia, to educate themselves on the proposed 1% sales tax statewide referendum.
"We put out the invitation to various grassroots organizers to meet under one roof and learn more about this tax. We were very pleased with the response from across the state as far south as Valdosta," said Jack Staver, chairman of Transportation Leadership Coalition.
The result of this meeting was a coordinated effort to oppose the sales tax that is touted to alleviate traffic congestion in the metro Atlanta area. From this meeting and subsequent meetings and conversations, the Transportation Leadership Coalition, LLC ("TLC") was formed.
The focus of TLC is to educate the public on the claims of MAVEN (Metro Atlanta Voter Education Network), a pro;sales tax advocacy group, and Untie Atlanta (Citizens for Transportation Mobility), David Stockert, chairman, who is also CEO of Post Properties. The primary education vehicle for TLC will be its website, TrafficTruth.net, as well as email and social media.
Some of the key points of TLC are:
* Proposed rail projects will not relieve traffic congestion.
* T-SPLOST is not a "temporary tax;" Ultra-expensive projects will require
billions more to complete than the allocated tax amount.
* There is a 'Plan B'.
"MAVEN is well funded to the tune of $2,000,000, some of which is through the unconstitutional use of taxpayer money from CID's. We are truly a grassroots, volunteer;driven organization that is self;funded through donations," said Staver. "We dispel the myths about traffic solutions claimed by ARC through our fact sheet, which can be downloaded from our website, TrafficTruth.net. The 2-page document provides voters with real facts and real numbers that rebut every falsehood from ARC, MAVEN, and Untie Atlanta."
Other organizations are also opposed to the tax plan including the NAACP, Sierra Club, 912 projects, Georgia Campaign for Liberty, and Tea Parties. While these groups all oppose the tax for different reasons, the T SPLOST is proving to TLC that there are clear issues with the plan and the tax across the board.
"One big question is why is it legal for an organization like ARC to use taxpayer dollars to tell lies and falsehoods to the voters? If the TSPLOST was such a great idea, why do they need $2 million plus an additional $6 million from Untie Atlanta for an advertising campaign to spin it and sell it to the people of Georgia? One would think they could deliver a winning message without resorting to lying to the voters. And finally, why would the people of Georgia want to give up local control, also known as 'home rule'?"
TLC is encouraging public debate on the topic to include both sides of the issue.

In a dominant win over Topeka West Monday night at Bishop Stadium, something happened to the Manhattan High boys' soccer team that hadn't happened in 15 years under head coach Frank Alonso.
Playing on a tough course at the Topeka Country Club, half of the 12 teams competing at the Class 6A state golf tournament shot a team score higher than 400.
Making their fourth trip to the Class 6A golf tournament in as many years, Kelsey and Kylie McCarthy are well-aware of the pressures and difficulty of playing at the high school game's highest level.
The Manhattan High boys' cross country team, fresh off a Centennial League title Saturday, remained at the top of the state's Class 6A coaches poll, edging Blue Valley-Stilwell for the top spot.
Seven Manhattan High wrestlers participated in the Blue Chip Fall Brawl in Kansas City, Mo., over the weekend.
The Manhattan High girls' tennis team sent two players to Topeka for the Class 6A state tennis tournament, and came home with a pair of medals. Cathy Lei finished in eighth place in singles, while Kristen Fraley took 11th place.
On a night when defense was at a premium, the Trojans proved to be difficult to stop offensively and just a tick better defensively in a 52-41 win to start district play Friday night at Bishop Stadium.
The Manhattan High football team opened district play with a loss to Topeka High Friday night at Bishop Stadium, 52-41.
With just two more matches next week preceding the official start of the postseason, the Manhattan High boys' soccer team has yet to play a full, 80-minute game up to its potential. Against Highland Park in Topeka on Thursday, it didn't matter in a 6-0 Manhattan victory.
Each year, the playoff bracket has at least one undeserving team advance through the district system and into the playoffs. Last season it was one-win Wichita North.
If win-loss records told the whole story, Friday night's matchup between Manhattan High and Topeka High at Bishop Stadium would be more about playoff seeding than playoff inclusion.
For the third year in a row, Manhattan High girls' tennis players Kristen Fraley and Cathy Lei will end the year together at the Class 6A state tournament in Topeka.
In what has become a regular occurrence each fall, the Manhattan High girls' golf team will once again make a trip to the Class 6A state golf tournament next week.
The Manhattan High volleyball team wrapped up its regular season home slate by winning two out of three matches, as five Indians were honored at senior night Tuesday.
In what head coach Frank Alonso described as a playoff atmosphere, the Manhattan High boys' soccer team lost 2-1 to a tough Wichita Northwest squad Tuesday night.
Top-seeded Shawnee Mission West defeated the Indians, 1-0, in double overtime in the semifinal round of the Class 6A state tournament on Saturday in Junction City with a sudden-death goal.
Manhattan's seniors scored six of the 10 goals on the night, while the offense allowed the game to get called 10 minutes early because of mercy rules.
The Indians salvaged a split on senior night with a 7-4 win to help erase the sting of a 13-5 loss in Game 1.
Despite the lopsided win, Manhattan head coach Mike Sanchez said he admired the way the Scots handled themselves in defeat.
The Manhattan High girls' soccer team didn't let the less-than-ideal weather stop it from crushing Wichita Heights in an 8-0 rout.
The Indians are headed to the Blue Valley Northwest Invitational, which features some of the top tennis programs in both Kansas and Missouri.
In a dogfight with Washburn Rural on Friday night and in desperate need of a game-tying bucket, Manhattan worked hard to get quality shots.
The Indians had to overcome a sluggish start to beat the Trojans at home, 57-38.
Manhattan was so dominant in the third quarter, turning what had been a close game into a blowout en route to a 66-56 win.
The Indians defeated Paola (57-18), Smith Center (39-33), Shawnee Heights (49-21) and the Manhattan "B" team (60-6).
With the win, Manhattan advances to host Thursday's regional final against sixth-seeded Hutchinson (11-6-0), which defeated Topeka High, 2-0.
The loss spoiled an otherwise festive night at Bishop Stadium.
Manhattan's win over Rural is a good sign with regionals just a few short weeks away.
Facing an offense that likes to throw the ball, Manhattan High tightened up its coverage and contained the pass game in a 50-7 win over Topeka West on Friday at Bishop Stadium.
The Indians received their first real test of the season against the Wildcats, and though they played well enough to win for much of the night, Schumacher made a pair of back-breaking plays against Manhattan's defense to help Hayden scrape together a hard-fought 21-14 win.
The Indians led 42-0 at halftime before dialing it back in the second half and allowing Seaman's first-team players to get some offense going against Manhattan's backups.
The Indians took the lead early in the first half and were never really threatened by the Lions in their season opener at Bishop Stadium.
In many cases, high school sports offer its participants the chance to learn life lessons through competition.
The win over Dodge City sends Manhattan on the road for Tuesday's 6 p.m. quarterfinal against Maize (17-1).
Despite a slow start, Manhattan defeated Junction City by mercy-rule in only 56 minutes, winning 10-0 to set up Thursday's regional final against Dodge City at Bishop Stadium, scheduled to begin at 6 p.m.

Product Description
From the Author
Several readers have complained about the lack of a student solution manual. One now exists, published by Matrix Editions. Errata for the book are posted on the book web site (URL given in the book). The most recent posting was Feb. 29, 2002. Readers who wish to be notified by e-mail when new errata are posted can sign up via the web site or e-mail the authors (address given in the book).
What's new in the second edition (the one with the pale yellow cover now being sold):
The main change is that we introduce a new approach to Lebesgue integration. In addition, the second edition has approximately 270 additional exercises and 50 additional examples. We have added pictures of mathematicians and more historical notes. There are now end-of-section exercises, as well as review exercises for Chapters 1--6. Some useful formulas are listed on the back cover.
More difficult material from Chapter 0 was moved to the Appendix. The inverse and implicit function theorems have been rewritten. In Chapter 3 we simplified the definition of a manifold, and we now begin with the general case and discuss curves and surfaces as examples. Similarly, in Chapter 5, we eliminated the separate sections on arc length and surface area; we now have one section on volume of manifolds.
In Chapter 6, we rewrote the discussion of orientation and changed the definition of a piece-with-boundary of a manifold, to make it both simpler and more inclusive.
From the Inside Flap
... The numerical interpretation ... is however necessary . ... So long
as it is not obtained, the solutions may be said to remain incomplete and
useless, and the truth which it is proposed to discover is no less hidden
in the formulae of analysis than it was in the physical problem itself.
Joseph Fourier, The Analytic Theory of Heat
Chapters 1 through 6 of this book cover most of the standard topics in multivariate calculus and a substantial part of a standard first course in linear algebra. If, in addition, one teaches the proofs in Appendix A, the book can be used as a textbook for a course in analysis.
The organization and selection of material differs from the standard approach in three ways.
First, we believe that at this level linear algebra should be more a convenient setting and language for multivariate calculus than a subject in its own right. The guiding principle of this unified approach is that locally, a nonlinear function behaves like its derivative. Thus whenever we have a question about a nonlinear function we will answer it by looking carefully at a linear transformation: its derivative. In this approach, everything learned about linear algebra pays off twice: first for understanding linear equations, then as a tool for understanding nonlinear equations.
We discuss abstract vector spaces in Section 2.6, but the emphasis is on R', as we believe that most students find it easiest to move from the concrete to the abstract.
Second, we emphasize computationally effective algorithms, and prove theorems by showing that those algorithms really work. We feel this better reflects the way this mathematics is used today, in both applied and in pure mathematics. Moreover, it can be done with no loss of rigor.
For linear equations, row reduction (the practical algorithm) is the central tool from which everything else follows, and we use row reduction to prove all the standard results about dimension and rank. For nonlinear equations, the cornerstone is Newton's method, the best and most widely used method for solving nonlinear equations; we use it both as a computational tool and in proving the inverse and implicit function theorems. We include a section on numerical methods of integration, and we encourage the use of computers both to reduce tedious calculations and as an aid in visualizing curves and surfaces.
Third, we use differential forms to generalize the fundamental theorem of calculus to higher dimensions. The great conceptual simplifications gained by doing electromagnetism in the language of forms is a central motivation for using forms, and we will apply the language of forms to electromagnetism in a subsequent volume.
In our experience, differential forms can be taught to freshmen and sophomores, if forms are presented geometrically, as integrands that take an oriented piece of a curve, surface, or manifold, and return a number. We are aware that students taking courses in other fields need to master the language of vector calculus, and we devote three sections of Chapter 6 to integrating the standard vector calculus into the language of forms.
Chapter 0 is intended as a resource. Students should not feel that they need to read it before beginning Chapter 1. Another resource is the inside back cover, which lists some useful formulas.Numbering of theorems, examples, and equations
Theorems, lemmas, propositions, corollaries, and examples share the same numbering system: Proposition 2.3.8 is not the eighth proposition of Section 2.3; it is the eighth numbered item of that section. We often refer back to theorems, examples, and so on, and hope this numbering will make them easier to find.
Figures and tables share their own numbering system; Figure 4.5.2 is the second figure or table of Section 4.5. Virtually all displayed equations are numbered, with the numbers given at right; Equation 4.2.3 is the third equation of Section 4.2. When an equation is displayed a second time, it keeps its original number, but the number is in parentheses.
We use a symbol to mark the end of an example or remark, and to mark the end of a proof.Notation
Mathematical notation is not always uniform. For example, A can mean the length of a matrix A or the determinant of A. Different notations for partial derivatives also exist. This should not pose a problem for readers who begin at the beginning and end at the end, but for those who are using only selected chapters, it could be confusing. Notations used in the book are listed on the front inside cover, along with an indication of where they are first introduced.Exercises
Exercises are given at the end of each section; chapter review exercises are given at the end of each chapter, except Chapter 0. Exercises range from very easy exercises intended to make the student familiar with vocabulary, to quite difficult exercises. The hardest exercises are marked with an asterisk (in rare cases, two asterisks). A student solution manual is planned, with complete solutions to odd-numbered exercises.What's new in the second edition
While anyone familiar with the first edition will recognize the second, there have been many changes, large and small. Perhaps the biggest change is that we now treat Lebesgue integration (Section 4.11). Other major ones include:
- More exercises, more examples, and more figures, including approximately 270 additional exercises and 50 additional examples. We have also added pictures of mathematicians.
- There are now end-of-section exercises, as well as review exercises for Chapters 1-6.
- More difficult material from Chapter 0 was moved to the Appendix.
- Chapter 0 now includes a new section on functions; some material from Section 1.3 was moved to this section. The section on complex numbers was expanded.
- The inverse and implicit function theorems have been rewritten.
- In Chapter 3 we simplified the definition of a manifold, and we now begin with the general case and discuss curves and surfaces as examples, Similarly, in Chapter 5, we eliminated the separate sections on arc length and surface area; we now have one section on volume of manifolds.
- In Chapter 6, we rewrote the discussion of orientation and changed the definition of a piece-with-boundary of a manifold, to make it both simpler and more inclusive.
- Some useful formulas are listed on the back cover.
This book can be used at different levels of rigor. Chapters 1 through 6 contain material appropriate for a course in linear algebra and multivariate calculus. Appendix A contains the technical, rigorous underpinnings appropriate for a course in analysis. It includes proofs of those statements not proved in the main text, and a painstaking justification of arithmetic.
Most of the proofs included in this appendix are more difficult than the proofs contained in the main text, but difficulty was not the only criterion; many students find the proof of the fundamental theorem of algebra (Section 1.6) quite difficult. But we find this proof qualitatively different from the proof of the Kantorovich theorem, for example. A professional mathematician who has understood the proof of the fundamental theorem of algebra should be able to reproduce it. A professional mathematician who has read through the proof of the Kantorovich theorem, and who agrees that each step is justified, might well want to refer to printed notes in order to reproduce it. In this sense, the first proof is more conceptual, the second more technical.
Following is a brief description of different courses that could be taught using this book.One-year courses
At Cornell University this book is used for the honors courses Math 223 (fall semester) and 224 (spring semester), for students who have studied one-variable calculus. Students are expected to have a 5 on the Advanced Placement BC Calculus exam, or the equivalent. When John Hubbard teaches the course, he typically gets to the middle of Chapter 4 in the first semester, skipping Section 3.8 on the geometry of curves and surfaces and Section 4.4 on measure 0. In the second semester he gets to the end of Chapter 6 and goes on to teach some of the material that will appear in a sequel volume, in particular differential equations.
Eventually, he would like to take three semesters to cover Chapters 1-6 of the current book and the material of the second book (referred to as "Volume 2" throughout this text):
- Chapter 7: Differential Equations
- Chapter 8: Inner Products and Signal Processing
- Chapter 9: Linear Differential Equations with Constant Coefficients
- Chapter 10: Differential Forms: Advanced Topics
- Chapter 11: Inner Products and Forms
- Chapter 12: Electromagnetism
Another approach would be to spend a year on Chapters 1-6. This could be done at different levels of difficulty. Some students may need to review material in Chapter 0; others may be able to include some of the proofs in the appendix.Semester courses
(1) A one-semester course for students who have studied neither linear algebra V nor multivariate calculus.
For such a course, we suggest covering only the first four chapters, omitting the parts marked "optional" (the part of Section 2.8 concerning a stronger version of the Kantorovich theorem, and Section 4.4 on measure 0). Other topics that can be omitted include
- The proof of the fundamental theorem of algebra in Section 1.6,
- The discussion of criteria for differentiability in Section 1.9,
- Section 3.8 on the geometry of curves and surfaces,
- The proof of theorem 4.9.1,
- The discussion in Section 4.11 on Fourier and Laplace transforms.
Sections 4.2 (integrals. and probability) and 4.6 (numerical methods of integration) could also be skipped, but we feel these topics are generally given too little attention. If Section 4.2 is skipped, then one should also skip the discussion of Monte Carlo methods in Section 4.6.
(2) A course for students who have had some exposure to either linear algebra or multivariate calculus, but who are not ready for a course in analysis.
We used an earlier version of this text with students who had taken a course in linear algebra, and feel they gained a great deal from seeing how linear algebra and multivariate calculus mesh. Such students could be expected to cover Chapters 1-6, possibly omitting some of material, as discussed above. For a less fast-paced course, the book could also be covered in a year, possibly including some proofs from the appendix.
(3) A one-semester analysis course.
In one semester one could hope to cover all six chapters and some or most of the proofs in Appendix A. This could be done at varying levels of difficulty; students might be expected to follow the proofs, for example, or they might be expected to understand them well enough to construct similar proofs.See all Product Description

This is the only text that I have seen that really makes forms clear. It does so by taking the time to carefully, but rigorously, explain them in a "classical" setting. One of the reasons forms are so difficult to grasp is that while some things, such as the exterior derivative and the work form of a function, can be seen as natural objects (when explained well), the connection between these objects and calculating with forms using coordinates is not so easy to make clear. The Hubbards' do make these ideas clear - even when presenting topics as hard as orientation.
Unfortunately, most of us had to wait till graduate school to see forms - usually, in a more abstract setting. By then, we probably didn't have time to sit, calculate, and make clear connections. This text makes that later transition, for those in math, much easier. It also makes physics easier. The Hubbards' make that point by showing that the electric field shouldn't really be a field, but a two form. Any book that lets one explain that - and much more - to high school students, which I do, should be a part of every multivariable calculus course.
Finally, I should note that this book contains much, much more than manifolds, the implicit function theorem and differential forms. But, even if that were all it contained, it would fully be worth the price.
In summary, this book opens the door to new worlds that most students never get to see clearly. What a present to us all.
This book can be studied at several levels. For a first year honours course, one may skip the trickiest proofs, which appear in the appendix. More advanced readers may choose to study constructions and details of selected theorems and proofs. Anyone who buys this book will have a solid companion for many years ahead.
Hubbard's "undergraduate" text to be extremely helpful.
Hubbard combines an intuitive heuristic approach appropriate
for undergraduates with a thoroughly rigorous set of proofs
appropriate for graduate students. I found his discussion of
differential forms particularly helpful. He provides an
excellent intuitive motivation for the definitions, and then
he follows this with a mathematically sound treatment of the
topic. This is a much nicer approach than one will find in
texts such as Rudin's Principals of Mathematical Analysis.
I highly recommend Hubbard's book to anyone wishing to learn
differential forms.

It has just rapidly exceeded that and is now 10 kwatcha to 1 dollar. Even when I arrived it was 7.8 kwatcha to ever dollar. So the dollar is getting stronger and their currency is weakening rapidly.

I just installed the latest TortoiseSVN Client (v1.7.8) for windows from this mirror here. In the installer I was asked to close Firefox to proceed. Why so? It made me nervous - does TortoiseSVN have anything to do with a web browser that I am unaware of?
migrated from programmers.stackexchange.com Feb 4 '13 at 8:51
This question came from our site for professional programmers interested in conceptual questions about software development.
TortoiseSVN integrates into Windows shell, and applications that use the open/save dialog are an obstacle for the installer's intention to restart the shell.
There is nothing special about Firefox. The same can happen with Notepad.

The following is a list of the Week 2 leaders in looks and touches. It defines those running backs and receivers who received the most attention this past weekend.
Touches is defined as the number of times a running back carried or caught the football.
Looks is defined as the number of times a player was the intended target of a pass.
• Broncos coach Mike Shanahan appears to have found a RB that he likes. Travis Henry led all players with 28 touches (26 carries, two receptions) in Week 2, despite sustaining an ankle injury in the third quarter; his 54 touches (49 carries, five catches) after two weeks is the most in the league, as is his 319 yards of offense (267 rushing, 52 receiving). Cecil Sapp, Selvin Young, and Mike Bell have combined for 18 touches (14 carries, four receptions) through two games.
• Rudi Johnson and Jamal Lewis each had 27 touches in the AFC North shootout that gained more notoriety for its combined totals of 11 TD passes and 729 passing yards. Lewis led the league with 216 yards of offense on his 27 carries (no catches), while Johnson finished fourth with 151 yards (118 rushing on 23 carries, 33 receiving on four catches).
• Edgerrin James turned in his most productive game as a Cardinal in Week 2, compiling 150 yards of offense (128 rushing, 22 receiving) on his 26 touches (24 carries, two receptions). James' 54 touches after the first two games of the season have him tied with Travis Henry for the league lead.
• LaMont Jordan recorded 159 yards of offense for the second consecutive week, albeit with a completely different method – he gained all of his yards on 25 carries in Week 2 while failing to record a catch, something of a strange follow-up to his Week 1 performance which included 70 rushing yards and nine catches for 89 receiving yards. Jordan's 318 yards of offense (229 rushing, 89 receiving) after two weeks is just one less than Travis Henry's league-leading total.
• Can you say "Buy Low?" The "Big 3" all struggled for the second consecutive week – LaDainian Tomlinson totaled just 58 yards (43 rushing, 15 receiving) on his 22 touches (18 carries, four catches); Steven Jackson had 96 yards of offense (60 rushing, 36 receiving) on 24 touches (21 carries, three receptions); and Larry Johnson had 87 yards (55 rushing, 32 receiving) on 19 touches (16 carries, three catches). All three failed to score a TD in Week 2.
• The platoon watch notes when a team's RB2 is given at least half as many touches as the RB1, regardless of the reason. Platoon watch for Week 2 included: Atlanta (Warrick Dunn 14, Jerious Norwood 10), Carolina (DeShaun Foster 13, DeAngelo Williams 13), Dallas (Julius Jones 16, Marion Barber III 16), Detroit (Tatum Bell 13, Brian Calhoun 8), Green Bay (Brandon Jackson 21, DeShawn Wynn 12), Houston (Ron Dayne 19, Ahman Green 15), Jacksonville (Fred Taylor 17, Maurice Jones-Drew 12), Kansas City (Larry Johnson 19, Michael Bennett 10), Miami (Ronnie Brown 13, Jesse Chatman 7), New England (Laurence Maroney 15, Sammy Morris 10), New Orleans (Reggie Bush 16, Deuce McAllister 11), and Tennessee (LenDale White 15, Chris Brown 13).
• Mewelde Moore led all players with at least 10 touches in yards-per-touch, as he gained 86 yards of offense (50 rushing, 36 receiving) on 10 touches (six carries, four catches), good for an 8.6-yard average. Jamal Lewis deserves mention here, as his 216 yards on 27 carries (no catches) was good for an 8-yard average. Carnell Williams brought up the rear in Week 2, managing just 61 rushing yards on 24 carries (no receptions), a 2.54-yard average – his two one-yard scoring runs helped make up for an otherwise unproductive day. Amazingly, Williams eked out the distinction just ahead of LaDainian Tomlinson, who averaged just 2.64 yards of offense on his 22 touches in Week 2.
• Chris Chambers gained notoriety last season for his 154 looks, the fourth-highest total in the league. Actually, he gained notoriety for converting them into just 59 catches for 677 yards and 4 TD, as he managed more than six catches or 66 receiving yards in a game just once last season. During Week 2 action, Chambers registered a league-high 16 looks, which led to nine catches for 109 yards. After two weeks of play, Chambers is second in the league in looks (27), sixth in receptions (15), and ninth in receiving yards (201).
• More than half (45) of the 83 combined pass attempts in the Cincinnati/Cleveland scoring-fest went to just three players – Chad Johnson (16 looks), T.J. Houshmandzadeh (15), and Braylon Edwards (14). The three players combined for 27 catches, 424 receiving yards, and 6 TD in the game.
• Deion Branch rebounded nicely from his Week 1 0-fer in which he had no catches on just three looks. Branch was targeted 13 times in Week 2, catching seven passes for 122 yards.
• It appears that Randy Moss for a fourth-round draft pick may end up being a decent trade for the Patriots, does it not? After two weeks of play, he's tied for the league lead in receptions (17) and is second in receiving yards (288) and TD (3). What makes those numbers that much better is the fact that he's done it on 18 looks, just 18th-most in the league, and his catch rate of 94 percent is best among players with at least seven looks on the season.
• Joey Galloway certainly made the most of what passes he saw in Week 2, turning five looks into four catches for 135 yards and two TD.
• Donovan McNabb has yet to establish much of anything with his WR1 and WR2. After two weeks, Reggie Brown has just three catches for 41 yards on 14 looks (21 percent catch rate) while Kevin Curtis has six catches for 81 yards on 15 looks (40 percent), and neither has scored a TD. Meanwhile, WR3 Jason Avant has eight catches for 109 and a score on nine looks (89 percent).

Posted on 05/31/2013 4:04:28 PM PDT by Red_Devil 232
Good afternoon/evening FReepers. Yep, it is Beer Thirty Time Once Again!
Happiness is a bubbling airlock! And a Cold Brew
Irish Stout Yum!
Good evening/afternoon brewers and winemakers.
Let us know what yall are brewing up and making. Any interesting brews or wines you have discovered?
Pinging the list!
Good evening! Sampling a few Barley wine ales I bottled up on Monday even tho they aren't quite ripe yet, just couldn't wait. Not exactly what I expected but not bad at all. Will be even better in a few more weeks. Oh yeah, they are 14%! On my 3rd one and #4 should about wrap things up I'd say =)
I'm thirsty.
Reporting for duty.
Enjoying a local brew now - Summit Saga. Very nice and hoppy. For the weekend, I have alternative choices:
1. Homebrew pilsner that I started in January and brewed extra hoppy. Had one pint last weekend and the head held through the entire glass; each sip leaving a foamy ring. My only complaint was that it is a bit thin. Just the ticket for spicy brats and homemade sauerkraut.
2. DAB - a Dortmunder style beer. I have mourned to loss of Dortmunder Union bier for over a decade now. It seemed to me as a young beer drinker that that beer was as close to perfection as possible on this earth. Malty and yet clearly hopped. Very good memories and this is . . . well, quite similar. I think my tastes may have grown to favor more hops and less malt. Still, it has enough appeal that I may try brewing a batch this fall.
Finally, my barley crop is doing OK but broadcasting the seed was a poor second to drilling. The strain is Conlon - a two row barley from NDU in the late '90's (I think). High productivity and excellent malting characteristics from what I read. The hops vine, too, are doing very well and loving all the rain; this year we're close to Seattle's climate. Unfortunately, my clay soils are a mess for every other kind of planting since tilling is impossible with this muck.
Three @ 14%?!? I'd be blind and barking at the moon.
Took me 3 hours and eating plenty of food along with them.
"This is what I do darling. This is what I do." <--------Name that quote
Can you add me to the ping list? I had to do something with last years excess plums and apples, so I made plum wine and hard cider.
Just got off work and am relaxing with a smoke and a glass of home brewed lager and a comfortable chair.
Happy Friday.
You are added! Have a great time here.
How did they turn out?
Dang. No idea. Of course, if it's from a movie later than 1965, I probably haven't seen it.
BTW, what do you eat with a 14% brew? Sponges?
Just finished a keg of pale ale I made a few weeks ago, used 1 pound of wheat dme to kick up the abv, and it was great. It was done as a demonstration of how easy it is to make beer and had 4 or 5 untrained helpers. The beer came out great and pissed off some of my more proper brewing friends because of the seeming lack of "expertise". I've always said that if you keep your equipment clean and don't pick up any infections the beer will be good,even if it's not what you expected. To quote:
"Once, a long, long time ago, God created sugar. After a time he realized he had made too much, and so, created something to take care of the excess. This thing he called yeast. After a time he realized the yeast was creating a noxious gas, that he called "CO2", and a bubbly liquid, which he called "laughing juice". Next he created trees to eat the noxious gas and was disturbed to find that they exuded an inert gas, which he called "oxygen". As a solution to all the problems caused by sugar he created "MAN", and renamed the bubbly liquid "BEER". Those who know the truth are now happy, and fruitful of the loins. The rest are called "LIBERALS", and they wait, impatiently, for their own solution."
Beer is the answer. If only I could remember the question."
Quote is from Serenity, sci fi movie from 2005 based on Firefly series, my favorite TV show that was only on the air 1 season in 2002.
Obscure nerd stuff =)
Enjoying an Altbier that I brewed back in April that is no doubt the best beer that I've ever brewed. Sadly, the keg seems to be getting awfully light....
My two sons are coming in on June 10 for a few days.
In the basement are:
Barley wine 2 cases
Bavarian Dunkel 2 cases
Midnight Beatdown Wheaten Porter 1 case
Scottish 80 Shilling 1 case
Belgian Tripel 1 case
Brewed a nut brown ale on Memorial Day. Pitched the yeast (Nottigham)about 4 pm that afternoon. At or before 8 am Tuesday , I had a mess on my hands. Blew the airlock and rubber stopper off the carboy. Hops and wort everywhere.
I cleaned up and placed a blow-off hose in the stopper.
She's still roiling 4 days later.
It should be an interesting keg o brew.
I have had a couple of very active ferments, luckily I was able to catch them before there was a big mess. It is amazing how those yeasties can just decide to go on a feeding riot!
I wonder if an active ferment like that affects the taste of the final brew?
Excellent beer except the alcohol content is too high for me. I can drink at most two without getting drunky.
Dang! My Dad serves Schmidt...and he wonders why I never visit!
Some years ago we made a batch of apple wine that was very blah, along with a batch of plum that was very harsh. My sweetie blended the two & it made a very pleasant wine. Ever since then the apple has been much too 'apple-y' to blend. But he still talks about that batch.
Tonight we enjoyed our home-made strawberry wine, after sitting for several hours to get petitions signed to repeal the bag ban in our town. It was a well-deserved treat. Strawberry is too precious to drink every night.
This is True.
'Cause in Genesis, O2 came after plants, and those only well after the waters and CO2 were formed. 8<)
Man, of course, came onto the bar last.
Four bottles is a thorough sampling, indeed.
My first-ever rye ale is ready to keg. Will probably get it in the keg tomorrow and cook up a batch of my usual ale to keep those yeast going.
Am enjoying a nice ale from Medford, Oregon "Smooth Ryed."
I also add wheat DME to my regular wort to kick it up. Works out just fine!
The wife really likes the plum wine. It is too dry for me to have much of that either. Most people that have tried either liked them both and it seems like a fun hobby.
This is the second time with an liquid extract and DME I have brewed up. The first batch was a "normal". 5 gal of liquid gold! The difference was the yeast. Apparently Nottigham can become extremely active. As of this morning, there's very little settling and the kroisen is still rich/full.
She go into a secondary tommorow with a sample pulled for taste and abv content.
Sulphur is, unfortunately, a natural by product of nearly any cider.
If you keg rather than bottle, once the cider is fully carbonated you can shake it, blow off sulphur, shake and blow off sulphur again and again until it starts to smell nice then drink it.
It makes a HUGE difference.
I harvested 20 lbs of barley last week, winter two row Conlon from 300 of my 400 sq ft. The rest was planted thre weeks later and so is lagging a bit. I think I could have done more if I really had taken better care to fertilize better. Next year. I have Nugget, Cascade, and Magnum hops in pots til I can get the spot ready. Magnum grows fast!
I have a Belgian Trippel made from the recipe on White Lab site. I have really been trying to clean up my wort with grain bag and hop bag and was initially disappointed with an OG of 1066. I Had tried a single step mash at 150 f instead of the step infusion I had done previously. I decided to check a gravity while I was bottling an ale I had done with WLP 090 I recovered from the last bottle of my second ever brew which I had brewed the day before the Belgian. I had done both at 150 f and the grav on that one was low as well 1036. Now I am quite happy. The Belgian has a grav of 1000!!!! The ale has 1002. They are both clear as can be already. The Belgian gets another five weeks in secondary then five MONTHS in the bottle. I think I will give bottles as Christmas presents. LOL. Think on it. 1066 to 1000. 9%.
I just pitched yeast on a batch of Mead the same day. Adventures in brewing!
Beer is how we know God Loves us.
I did two lagers before it warmed up and layered in the garage at 40. I also made homemade sauerkraut from the cabbage that grew over the winter. Heaven on Earth! Pressure cooked ribs, taters, and homemade kraut with a homemade Pilsner! If Heaven is better, why wait? LOL. More beers to brew is why.
Where do you find these erotic brews in Mississippi?
I have friends in low places, lol. I do trades on www.beeradvocate.com and I belong to a couple of trading groups. I also load up when I go out of state.
Wow! My barley isn't even 6" tall yet and I planted about a month ago. Cold, wet, and more of the same.
My hat is off to you, Sir. You and the zeal and knowledge that I am only learning with brewing. At least, brewing something truly drinkable and fit to go with the homemade kraut and sausage.
BTW, have you done any cheesemaking? We set to learn some this winter and the outcomes so far have been fantastic. I have about seven pounds of raw milk cheddar aging in the cellar for Christmas and beyond. Our parmesan and romano are every bit as good as anything in the deli case and quite economical.
Fungus is good.

- 'Research quality in state universities has gone down'
Amravati: Pointing out that there is a yawning gap between the state universities and central universities, Padmashree professor GD Yadav, scientist and vice chancellor of Instiute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai, on Saturday, lamented that the quality of knowledge and research in state universities has gone down due to more favour granted to central universities. This, he said, has led to the dwindling of the tendency in state universities to produce new and novel knowledge. Yadav was addressing the 32nd convocation of Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University which was held on Saturday. Mohan Khedkar, vice chancellor, Amravati University and pro-VC Jaykiran Tidke were also present on the occasion. Speaking further, Yadav said that the duty of the universities was to create new knowledge, which should be at the forefront of science and technology. "It is also important to see how far the students have understood it," he said.Stating that not a single university or an IIT of the country is among first 100 universities of the world, Yadav said that the fault either lies in our education system or in our research tendency. "We also lack in new knowledge, so it is essential to give it a serious thought," said Yadav. Urging teachers to give up the traditional style of class room teaching, Yadav appealed them to focus more on developing ideas in students than on just teaching what was there in the textbooks. "Students should be taught through discussion, because in class room teaching students' time of concentration is very limited. So, if a teacher has to engage a class for 45 minutes, he or she should engage the students in a dialogue," said Yadav. He also felt that universities should develop various apps for students. In his speech, Khedkar briefed the audience about the progress made by the varsity. He said that "A" Grade by NAAC had been their biggest achievement. He conferred PhD degrees on 338 researchers and degrees and diplomas on more than one lakh students. He presented 101 gold medals, 22 silvers and 24 cash awards to the students.
