instruction:
In this task you will be given a text passage from a trivia quiz. You should choose the category this question belongs to from these categories: History, Science, Social Science, Fine Arts, Literature. You can only choose one category, so if in doubt, please choose the closest match.
question:
This author wrote about a girl who refuses to throw away a chicken sandwich in "Just Before the War With the Eskimos. " Another work by this author features a boy with "rickets in one leg and elephantiasis in other" fishing next to a "No Fishing! " sign while in Montreal. "The Chief" tells members of the "Comanche Club" a story about a deformed criminal named the "Laughing Man" in one of his works. Another work by this man sees the central character chat with Sibyl on the beach before shooting himself in the head. For 10 points, name this creator of Seymour Glass in "A Perfect Day for Bananafish," who wrote about Holden in The Catcher in the Rye.
answer:
Literature


question:
Harnik et al. argue against the anthropic principle by proposing a universe that lacks this. One instance of this interaction is modeled with a unitary matrix that includes three mixing angles and a complex phase that models CP violation. A vector minus axial Lagrangian for this force leads to maximal parity violation, making this force only affect left-handed particles. This force is responsible for quark flavor changing, was unified with electromagnetism by Glashow, Weinberg, and Salaam, and is transmitted by the massive W and Z bosons. For 10 points, name this fundamental force involved in radioactive decays.
answer:
Science


question:
Ordinary numerical integration causes systems of this type to deviate, so symplectic methods are often used instead. Systems of this type obey Liouville's Theorem, and their dynamics can be described by taking derivatives of a single function on phase space. Their evolutions are determined by the functions of the same name that express their energy in terms of momentum and positional coordinates. FTP, what are these dynamical systems named for the developer of quaternions
answer:

Science
