A Locus Construction In The Hyperbolic Plane For Elliptic Curves With Cross-Ratio On The Unit Circle, Lyudmila Shved Jan 2011

A Locus Construction In The Hyperbolic Plane For Elliptic Curves With Cross-Ratio On The Unit Circle, Lyudmila Shved

Theses Digitization Project

This project demonstrates how an elliptic curve f defined by invariance under two involutions can be represented by the locus of circumcenters of isosceles triangles in the hyperbolic plane, using inversive model.


Constructible Numbers: Euclid And Beyond, Joshua Scott Marcy Jan 2011

Constructible Numbers: Euclid And Beyond, Joshua Scott Marcy

Theses Digitization Project

The purpose of this project is to demonstrate first why trisection for an arbitrary angle is impossible with compass and straightedge and second how trisection does become possible if a marked ruler is used instead.


Geodesics Of Surface Of Revolution, Wenli Chang Jan 2011

Geodesics Of Surface Of Revolution, Wenli Chang

Theses Digitization Project

The purpose of this project was to study the differential geometry of curves and surfaces in three-dimensional Euclidean space. Some important concepts such as, Curvature, Fundamental Form, Christoffel symbols, and Geodesic Curvature and equations are explored.
