Infographics And Mathematics: A Mechanism For Effective Learning In The Classroom, Ivan Sudakov, Thomas Bellsky, Svetlana Usenyuk, Victoria V. Polyakova Aug 2015

Infographics And Mathematics: A Mechanism For Effective Learning In The Classroom, Ivan Sudakov, Thomas Bellsky, Svetlana Usenyuk, Victoria V. Polyakova

Physics Faculty Publications

This work discusses the creation and use of infographies in an undergraduate mathematics course. Infographies are a visualization of information combining data, formulas, and images. This article discusses how to form an infographic and uses infographics on topics within mathematics and climate as examples. It concludes with survey data from undergraduate students on both the general use of infographics and on the specific infographics designed by the authors.

Root Cover Pebbling On Graphs, Claire A. Sonneborn Apr 2015

Root Cover Pebbling On Graphs, Claire A. Sonneborn

Honors Theses

Consider a graph, G, with pebbles on its vertices. A pebbling move is defined to be the removal of two pebbles from one vertex and the addition of one pebble to an adjacent vertex. The cover pebbling number of a graph, γ(G), is the minimum number of pebbles such that, given any configuration of γ(G) pebbles on the vertices of G, pebbling moves can be used to place one pebble on each vertex of G. We define the root vertex of a graph and fix an initial configuration of pebbles on G where we place all pebbles on the root …


Multi-Term Linear Fractional Nabla Difference Equations With Constant Coefficients, Paul W. Eloe, Zi Ouyang Jan 2015

Multi-Term Linear Fractional Nabla Difference Equations With Constant Coefficients, Paul W. Eloe, Zi Ouyang

Mathematics Faculty Publications

We shall consider a linear fractional nabla (backward) fractional difference equation of Riemann–Liouville type with constant coefficients. We apply a transform method to construct solutions. Sufficient conditions in terms of the coefficients are given so that the solutions are absolutely convergent. The method is known for two-term fractional difference equations; the method is new for fractional equations with three or more terms. As a corollary, we exhibit new summation representations of a discrete exponential function, at, t = 0; 1; : : : .


The Graph Theory Origin Story (Abstract), Daniel Roberts Jan 2015

The Graph Theory Origin Story (Abstract), Daniel Roberts

Undergraduate Mathematics Day

Many research questions in pure mathematics arise from considerations of real world problems. Part of the job of a mathematician is to ask this type of question.

Riemannian Geometry (Abstract), Chikako Mese Jan 2015

Riemannian Geometry (Abstract), Chikako Mese

Kenneth C. Schraut Memorial Lectures

Riemannian Geometry studies the geometry of curved spaces. It originated with the ideas of the Bernhard Riemann in the 19th century extending Gaussian geometry, or the study of geometry of curves and surfaces contained in 3 dimensional Euclidean space.

We will show that the space delta not sober defined by Coecke and Martin is sober in the Scott topology, but not in the weakly way below topology.


Qualitative Theory Of Functional Differential And Integral Equations, Muhammad Islam, Cemil Tunc, Mouffak Benchohra, Bingwen Lui, Samir H. Saker Jan 2015

Qualitative Theory Of Functional Differential And Integral Equations, Muhammad Islam, Cemil Tunc, Mouffak Benchohra, Bingwen Lui, Samir H. Saker

Mathematics Faculty Publications

Functional differential equations arise in many areas of science and technology: whenever a deterministic relationship involving some varying quantities and their rates of change in space and/or time (expressed as derivatives or differences) is known or postulated. This is illustrated in classical mechanics, where the motion of a body is described by its position and velocity as the time varies. In some cases, this differential equation (called an equation of motion) may be solved explicitly. In fact, differential equations play an important role in modelling virtually every physical, technical, biological, ecological, and epidemiological process, from celestial motion, to bridge design, …


Bounded, Asymptotically Stable, And L^1 Solutions Of Caputo Fractional Differential Equations, Muhammad Islam Jan 2015

Bounded, Asymptotically Stable, And L^1 Solutions Of Caputo Fractional Differential Equations, Muhammad Islam

Mathematics Faculty Publications

The existence of bounded solutions, asymptotically stable solutions, and L1 solutions of a Caputo fractional differential equation has been studied in this paper. The results are obtained from an equivalent Volterra integral equation which is derived by inverting the fractional differential equation. The kernel function of this integral equation is weakly singular and hence the standard techniques that are normally applied on Volterra integral equations do not apply here. This hurdle is overcomed using a resolvent equation and then applying some known properties of the resolvent. In the analysis Schauder's fixed point theorem and Liapunov's method have been employed. …
