An Interpretation of the Theme of Snopesism in the Work of William Faulkner (open access)

An Interpretation of the Theme of Snopesism in the Work of William Faulkner

Ever since the publication of the novel Sartoria, members of a strange new breed of people by the name of Snopes have appeared in every Faulkner novel and short story which constitutes a part of what is called the Yoknapatawpha chronicle. Heretofore, it has been popular to support the thesis that the Snopeses represented the embodiment of crass commercialism, the inevitable replacement for the dying cotton aristocracy, and the direct retribution for the sins that had caused the downfall of these degenerate Southern gentry. This thesis will attempt to show, not that such a contention is wholly wrong, but that the real meaning of Snopesism lies much deeper than this, far beyond such a simple interpretation.

An Approximate Solution to the Dirichlet Problem (open access)

An Approximate Solution to the Dirichlet Problem

In the category of mathematics called partial differential equations there is a particular type of problem called the Dirichlet problem. Proof is given in many partial differential equation books that every Dirichlet problem has one and only one solution.

The purpose of this paper is to present and investigate one such method.
