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 man had a brother named Johann Michael, who was also a notable composer. This composer's two oratorios are called The Seasons and The Creation. This composer's string quartets are compiled into groups such as "Erdody" and "Sun," and because he wrote many of them, he is often called the "Father of String Quartets." This composer wrote over 100 symphonies, including ones nicknamed "Clock," "Surprise," and "Farewell." For 10 points, name this Austrian composer often called the "Father of the Symphony."
answer:
Fine Arts

question:
In one novel by this author, the false talent scout Maurice Venice recruits the protagonist while Dr. Tamkin takes Tommy Wilhelm's money. In another of his novels, Dr. Elya Gruner is the niece of the title one-eyed Polish Holocaust survivor. This author of Seize the Day and Mr. Sammler's Planet wrote a novel in which the title character fights for custody of Junie with his second wife Madeleine, Herzog.

For 10 points, name this Jewish author who wrote about ""an American, Chicago-born"" in his novel The Adventures of Augie March.
answer:
Literature

question:
These entites are bounded in a spectrum according to the Gershgorin circle theorem. John Francis and Vera Kublanovskaya formulated the QR algorithm for these entities, whose corresponding qualitative theory in the Sturm-Liouville theory. Rayleigh quotient iteration extends inverse iteration and converges to them cubically, while multiple rotations are used to obtain a (*) diagonal approximating these entities in the Jacobi algorithm. The Lanczos algorithm uses power methods to calculate these entities, which can be used to characterize the stability of solutions to ODEs. The sum of these values and the product of these values equal a matrix's trace and a matrix's determinant respectively. FTP, name these solutions to a characteristic equation, which are special sets of scalars associated with the invariants of a linear system of equations.
