The Man without Qualities (German original title: Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften) is a novel in three books by the Austrian novelist and essayist Robert Musil.
One of the great novels of the 20th century, Musil's three-volume epic is now available in a highly praised translation. It may look intimidating, but in fact the story of Ulrich, wealthy ex-soldier, seducer and scientist, the 'man without qualities', proceeds in short, pithy chapters, each one abounding in wit and intellectual energy. Lisa Jardine, the eminent historian, wrote of it: 'Musil's hero is a scientist who finds his science inadequate to help him understand the irrational and unpredictable world of pre-World War I Austria. The novel is perceptive and at times baroque account of Ulrich's search for meaning and love in a society hurtling towards political catastrophe.'

Tutorial 7 Due Week 13–17 OctProblem 1. For each of the five examples of discrete dynamical systems discussed in these lectures, determine if (i) equilibria exist, (ii) if they are unique, and (iii) are they stable. Prove your answers by computing the appropriate quantities (ranks and eigenvalues). Also write and run a computer program to compute and plot each component of x(n) for n = 1,2,…,40 where you choose a reasonable starting value x(0).
Problem 2. Compute the coefficients of the cubic polynomial y(x) that give the shape of a diving board from these constraints: .)(,0)0()0( dLyyy Problem 3. Write a program to generate the random numbers
10000,...,2,1,randn25.312)( 2 kkkky
and use another program to fit a quadratic model to this data. Explain the actual versus ‘expected’ sum of squared errors.
