Calculus for Business, Economics and the Social and Life Sciences by Laurence D Hoffman
A deeply felt celebration of a classic novel--and a reflection on the ways our favorite books can shape and heal us. Our favorite books keep us company, give us hope, and help us find meaning in a chaotic world. In this fresh and relatable work, atheist chaplain Vanessa Zoltan blends memoir and personal growth as she grapples with the notions of family legacy and identity through the lens of her favorite novel, Jane Eyre. Informed by the reading practices of medieval monks and rabbinic scholars from her training at the Harvard Divinity School and filtered through the pages of Jane Eyre as well as Little Women, Harry Potter, and The Great Gatsby, Zoltan explores topics ranging from the trauma she has inherited as the granddaughter of four Holocaust survivors to finding hope, meaning, and even magic in our deeply fractured times. Brimming with a lifelong love of classic literature and the tenderness of self-reflection, the book also reveals simple techniques for reading any work as a sacred text--from Virginia Woolf to Anne of Green Gables to baseball scorecards. Whether you're an avowed Eyrehead or simply a curious reader looking for a richer connection with the written word, this deeply felt and inspiring book will light the way to a more intimate appreciation for whatever books you love to read.Laurence D. is a well-known author. Hoffmann November 2011 I consider myself a writer, expositor, and mathematician, and it was because of these characteristics that the initial version of this essay was published in 1975. I was a tenured professor of mathematics at Claremont McKenna College before taking on my current role as a Senior Investment Management Consultant with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, where I was rewarded three times with the Huntoon Award for Excellence in Teaching, a best-teacher award selected by a student vote. In addition to my current job and continued engagement with this text, I am a member of the Claremont Community Foundation's Strategic Planning Committee and the Investment Committee of the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Gardens in Claremont. Janice and I, who have two grown sons, three grandchildren, and two Maltese dogs, enjoy traveling, music, and the arts. We have two Maltese dogs.
