Undergraduates, The Right Questions, And Cayley Produce Results, Gary J. Sherman
Undergraduates, The Right Questions, And Cayley Produce Results, Gary J. Sherman
Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)
During the summers of 1989, 1990, and 1991, eighteen undergraduates participated in a National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates program at Rose-Hulman for which the author was the principal investigator. This paper provides some examples of the mathematics discovered during these three summers and discusses the philosophy, environment and process which made these discoveries possible.
Characterization Of Knot Complements In The 4-Sphere, Vo Thanh Liem, Gerard A. Venema
Characterization Of Knot Complements In The 4-Sphere, Vo Thanh Liem, Gerard A. Venema
University Faculty Publications and Creative Works
Knot complements in S4 are characterized as follows: A connected open set W ⊂ S4 is homeomorphic to the complement of some locally flat 2-sphere in S4 if and only if H1(W) is infinite cyclic, W has one end, and the fundamental group of that end is infinite cyclic. Applications include a characterization of weakly flat 2-spheres in S4 and a complement theorem for 2-spheres in S4.

Our goal is to define the cyclicizer, which is analogous to the centralizer and normalizer, and to examine groups in which these subsets have certain special properties.
Templates And Framed Braids, Paul Melvin, N. B. Tufillaro
Templates And Framed Braids, Paul Melvin, N. B. Tufillaro
Mathematics Faculty Research and Scholarship
We show how a template for a dynamical system can be uniquely specified by a framed braid. This leads to a homological classification of strange attractors in terms of an associated linking matrix.

Some Complex Grassmannian Manifolds That Do Not Fibre Nontrivially, John Ferdinands
University Faculty Publications and Creative Works
A finite CW complex X is said to be prime if, given a Hurewicz fibration F→E→B with E homotopy equivalent to X, and B and F homotopy equivalent to finite CW complexes, either B or F is contractible. We show that certain 3- and 4-plane complex Grassmanian manifolds are prime. © 1991.

A Result On Dillon's Conjecture In Difference Sets, James A. Davis
A Result On Dillon's Conjecture In Difference Sets, James A. Davis
Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications
Dillon has conjectured that any group of order 22d+2 with a normal subgroup isomorphic to Z2d+1 will have a difference set. He was able to show that this is true if the subgroup is central: this paper extends that idea to noncentral subgroups.
Difference Sets In Abelian 2-Groups, James A. Davis
Difference Sets In Abelian 2-Groups, James A. Davis
Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications
Examples of difference sets are given for large classes of abelian groups of order 22d + 2. This fills in the gap of knowledge between Turyn's exponent condition and Dillon's rank condition. Specifically, it is shown thatℤ/(2d)×ℤ/(2d+2) andℤ/(2d+1)×Z/(2d+1) both admit difference sets, and these have many implications.
Analysis And Finite-Element Approximation Of Optimal-Control Problems For The Stationary Navier-Stokes Equations With Distributed And Neumann Controls, Max D. Gunzburger, L. Hou, Tom Svobodny
Analysis And Finite-Element Approximation Of Optimal-Control Problems For The Stationary Navier-Stokes Equations With Distributed And Neumann Controls, Max D. Gunzburger, L. Hou, Tom Svobodny
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
We examine certain analytic and numerical aspects of optimal control problems for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations. The controls considered may be of either the distributed or Neumann type; the functionals minimized are either the viscous dissipation or the L4-distance of candidate flows to some desired flow. We show the existence of optimal solutions and justify the use of Lagrange multiplier techniques to derive a system of partial differential equations from which optimal solutions may be deduced. We study the regularity of solutions of this system. Then, we consider the approximation, by finite element methods, of solutions of the …
Integer Triangles With Rational Medians, Bart Goddard, Dale Mesner
Integer Triangles With Rational Medians, Bart Goddard, Dale Mesner
Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)
A characterization of all integer-sided triangles with a rational median is given, similar to the categorization of Pythagorean triangles. An infinite family of integer-sided triangles with two rational medians is given, along with several examples of three rational medians. All examples come from solutions to systems of quadratic Diophantine equations.

Using Mathematics To Teach Calculus, Russell W. Howell
Using Mathematics To Teach Calculus, Russell W. Howell
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1991
For the past two years Westmont College has been one of the beta test sites for the calculus reform experiment being conducted at the University of Illinois under the direction of Jerry Uhl. Brown, Porta, and Uhl have created text which is integrated with Mathematica, a very powerful symbol manipulation, graphics, and number crunching software package produced by Wolfram Research, Inc. A preliminary version of this text has just been released [2]. We have used the Illinois materials for an honors course of incoming Freshmen with prior calculus experience. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the curriculum and …
Cantor's Concept Of Infinity: Implications Of Infinity For Contingence, Bruce A. Hedman
Cantor's Concept Of Infinity: Implications Of Infinity For Contingence, Bruce A. Hedman
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1991
Georg Cantor (1845-1918) was a devout Lutheran whose explicit Christian beliefs shaped his philosophy of science. Joseph Dauben has traced the impact Cantor's Christian convictions had on the development of transfinite set theory. In this paper I propose to examine how Cantor's transfinite set theory has contributed to an increasingly contingent world view in modern science. The contingence of scientific theories is not just a cautious tentativeness, but arises out of the actual state of the universe itself. The mathematical entities Cantor studied, transfinite numbers, he admitted were fraught with paradoxes. But he believed that they were grounded in a …
Can Mathematical Methods Yield Theological Truth?, Jan De Koning
Can Mathematical Methods Yield Theological Truth?, Jan De Koning
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1991
This paper discusses the negative impact mathematical methods in theology can have on the church by looking specifically at Arminius and Voetius, Dutch theologians living in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth century. Both Arminius and Voetius used mathematical methodology, although they came to different conclusions. I think their differences were due to their different worldviews, which in turn were fundamentally influenced by their upbringing. Both theologians, however, made the same mistake with their methodology and the church split because of that mistake.
A Tale Of Two Mathematicians, Robert Brabenec
A Tale Of Two Mathematicians, Robert Brabenec
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1991
The goal of this paper is to identify some of the discoveries in mathematics during the period from 1820 to 1875 that have profoundly changed the nature of mathematics. To provide a context for this, the author compares some results of mathematics before the year 1820 with those present after 1875. And to humanize this, the author discusses the details of the life and times of two mathematicians, one who was active before 1820 and one who was active after 1875.
How Has Christian Theology Furthered Mathematics?, Gene B. Chase
How Has Christian Theology Furthered Mathematics?, Gene B. Chase
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1991
In revising my Bibliography of Christianity and Mathematics to include material prior to the 20th century, it is difficult to know what to include and what to exclude, since Christian presuppositions informed much scholarship in a vague, cultural sort of way. This paper is a first cut at attempting to narrow down candidates for that Bibliography by looking for specific ways in which Christian theology has furthered mathematics.
Reviving The Argument From Design: Detecting Design Through Small Probabilities, William A. Dembski
Reviving The Argument From Design: Detecting Design Through Small Probabilities, William A. Dembski
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1991
How small do probabilities of events have to get before we refuse to attribute those events to chance? Smallness of probability is itself not enough since events with extremely small probability occur all the time. But when such events are also prespecified, it becomes difficult to attribute their occurrence to chance. Typically we search for a causal account of how chance was offset. Lacking such a causal story, however, are we still justified in asserting that an extremely improbable prespecified event was not the result of chance? This question is relevant to such diverse areas as prophecy, miracles, parapsychology, gambling, …

The Theorms Of The Alternative, Kathryn L. Balsman '91
The Theorms Of The Alternative, Kathryn L. Balsman '91
Honors Projects
In layman's terms, a Theorem of the Alternative is a theorem which states that given two conditions, one of the two conditions is true. It further states that if one of those conditions fails to be true, then the other condition must be true. Mathematically, this does not give a very clear picture of this group of theorems, however. Katta Murty defines a typical Theorem of the Alternative as one which shows that corresponding to any given system of linear constraints, system I, there is another associated system of linear constraints, system II, based on the same data, satisfying the …

An Upper Bound For 3-Rewriteability In Finite Groups, Jordan Ellenberg
Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)
An ordered triple of group elements (x,y,z) is said to be rewriteable if the product xyz is equal to one of the products xzy, yxz, yzx, zxy, zyx. In the present paper, we shall ask the following question: how rewriteable can a finite group be if its derived group has order greater than 2?
