Pascal
Ever since the edifying life written by his sister in the months after his death, canonical representations of Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) have revered him for the scientific genius of his youth, the religious conversions of his mid-life, and the great books and greater saintliness of his last years. All this monumentalizes the hero, but it also reduces the man to a mind and spirit and it divides his life and work into unrelated halves. The preeminent specialist, Jean Mesnard, still picks up the subject where Gilberte Pascal left it in 1662. No historian in our language has even attempted to put the halves together again. In Pascal: The Man and His Two Loves, John R. Cole reintegrates a life that began with familial attachments and achieved youthful marvels of invention and experiment with an Arithmetic Machine and Vacuum Experiments; Cole argues that love for his father spun the wheels and filled the void. Pascal then converted, having suffered particularly painful separations and losses; Cole's central chapters adapt Freudian methods to relate his newly ardent love of God to his prior love of parents. Finally, the convert wrote contrasting classics, the Provincial Letters and the Penses, before years of sanctified suffering terminated his work; Cole suggests that disciplined study of his affective life makes possible new readings of these great books.

Literary Silences in Pascal, Rousseau, and Beckett
To explore literary silence is to explore the relationships between literary texts and the silence of the ineffable. It is to enquire what dynamics texts develop as they strive to 'say the unsayable', and it is to think literature as a silence that speaks itself. This study describes these literary and silent dynamics through readings of Pascal's Pensées, Rousseau's Rêveries, and Beckett's trilogy Molloy, Malone meurt,and L'Innommable. It contributes to our understanding of three major writers and challenges our idea of what silence is. The subject of silence and of the ineffable has a long philosophical and critical tradition. A careful study of this tradition reveals the dominance of a limiting dualistic understanding of silence and its relationship to noise or language: silence becomes the negative other, the beyond, about which there remains nothing to say. The study of literary silence seeks rather to trace a language that becomes its own silence. It compromises the attempt to think a silence that moves within and throughtexts, that is inherent to the literary expression. Central to this theoretical endeavour are thinkers like Derrida, Deleuze, Gadamer, and Vattimo (among several others).The theoretical understanding of silence permits an effective methodology for reading literary silence. Notions of repetition, the aporia and the implosion, which are developed in reference to Kierkegaard and Bataille, describe textual strategies of literary silence and structure the readings. Finally, the reading of literary silence has its point of reference in writers like Mallarmé, Blanchot, and Beckett. It is their texts that have taught us to become topological readers, to move inand out of texts' movements; they have shown us how the literary expression is irreducible to linear, meaning oriented language. As readers of such texts we have been prepared to read the dynamics of the unsayable, and finally to start discerning the silences of the literary.

Pascal
Die programmtechnische Umsetzung effizienter Algorithmen entscheidet wesentlich dartiber, ob sich deren besondere Eigenschaften auch im Laufzeitverhalten des Programms widerspiegeln werden. Der Software-Entwickler bestimmt im allgemeinen mit der Auswahl seiner Programmelemente und dem globalen Programmablauf die notwendige Rechenzeit sowie die Qualitat der Resultate seines Programms und ob die Effizienz des Algorithmus im programmierten Overhead, den Rechenungenauigkeiten etc. wieder untergeht. Das vorliegende Buch nimmt sich dieser Thematik an und behandelt Programmiertechniken in Standard-Pascal. Der Einsatz der Sprachelemente wird unter verschiedenen Aspekten vorgesteHt, ein Hauptschwerpunkt liegt bei der Rekursion. Der sinnvoHe und effiziente Einsatz der Rekursion und die programmtechnischen Realisierungen sind Thema eines eigenen Kapitels. Gleichzeitig werden Beurteilungen aus der Sicht des Compilers vorge- nommen. Die "Black Box" Compiler wird dem Programmentwickler dadurch trans- parenter, daS Programmtechniken aus der Sicht des Compilers beurteilt und die daraus resultierenden charakteristischen Programmerkmale erlauert werden. Das Spektrum der Anwendungen ist breit gewiihlt und reicht von der Booleschen Algebra und der numerischen Mathematik (Gleichungssysteme, Differentiation, Integration) tiber die Codierungstheorie und Kryptographie bis hin zur graphischen Datenverarbeitung. Die Behandlung des mathematischen Teils ist ausftihrlich gehalten. Dem Charakter der Pro- grammothek entsprechend gewinnt der Leser einen Einblick in die betreffenden Themen- bereiche, so daS ihm beste Voraussetzungen fUr selbstandtge Programmentwicklungen gegeben sind. An dieser Stelle mochte ich mich bei Herm Prof. Dr. Oskar Hermann, Herm Peter Stede, dem Rechenzentrum der Universitat Heidelberg, Herm Klaus Staab, dem Leiter des Klinik- rechenzentrums Heidelberg, sowie Herm Prof. Dr. Dr. Kohler, dem Herausgeber der Programmothek, fUr Anregungen fachlicher und technischer Art bedanken.
