The Riesz Representation Theorem For Linear Functionals, Thomas Daniel Schellhous
The Riesz Representation Theorem For Linear Functionals, Thomas Daniel Schellhous
Theses Digitization Project
This study will investigate the Riesz representation theorem for linear functionals in relation to locally compact Hausdorff spaces. Two other theorems that are commonly called "Riesz representation theorem" are the theorem for finite-dimensional inner product spaces and the theorem for Hilbert spaces [BN00], and studying these interesting topics helps us to not only gain a better understanding of how linear functionals interact with vector spaces over which they are defined, but also to see faint threads that hint at a deep connection between the various fields of modern mathematics.

Snort: A Combinatorial Game, Keiko Kakihara
Theses Digitization Project
This paper focuses on the game Snort, which is a combinatorial game on graphs. This paper will explore the characteristics of opposability through examples. More fully, we obtain some neccessary conditions for a graph to be opposable. Since an opposable graph guarantees a second player win, we examine graphs that result in a first player win.

Doing so will lead to an in depth examination of Groebner bases. Once this has been defined, step will be outlined that will enable the application of the Groebner Basis Algorithm to geometric problems.

Studies In Free Module And It's Basis, Hsu-Chia Chen
Studies In Free Module And It's Basis, Hsu-Chia Chen
Theses Digitization Project
The purpose of this project was to study some basic properties of free modules over a ring. A module with a basis is called a free module and a free module over a division ring (or field) is called a vector space. We show every vector has a basis and any two bases of a vector space have same cardinality. However, a free module over an arbitrary ring (with identity) does not have this property.

Foundations Of Geometry, Lawrence Michael Clarke
Foundations Of Geometry, Lawrence Michael Clarke
Theses Digitization Project
In this paper, a brief introduction to the history, and development of Euclidean geometry will be followed by a biographical background of David Hilbert, highlighting significant events in his educational and professional life. In an attempt to add rigor to the presentation of geometry, Hilbert defined concepts and presented five groups of axioms that were mutually independent yet compatible, including introducing axioms of congruence in order to present displacement.
Operations In Hilbert Space, Dennis Michael Gumaer
Operations In Hilbert Space, Dennis Michael Gumaer
Theses Digitization Project
This thesis reviews some of the major topics in elementary Hilbert space theory. The theory of operators is developed by providing details regarding several types of operators, in particular compact operators. This study of compact operators is the start of the refinement of bounded linear operators to those which are also members of the Schatten p-class operators.

Minimal Surfaces, Maria Guadalupe Chaparro
Minimal Surfaces, Maria Guadalupe Chaparro
Theses Digitization Project
The focus of this project consists of investigating when a ruled surface is a minimal surface. A minimal surface is a surface with zero mean curvature. In this project the basic terminology of differential geometry will be discussed including examples where the terminology will be applied to the different subjects of differential geometry. In addition the focus will be on a classical theorem of minimal surfaces referred to as the Plateau's Problem.
Conics In The Hyperbolic Plane, Trent Phillip Naeve
Conics In The Hyperbolic Plane, Trent Phillip Naeve
Theses Digitization Project
An affine transformation such as T(P)=Q is a locus of an affine conic. Any affine conic can be produced from this incidence construction. The affine type of conic (ellipse, parabola, hyperbola) is determined by the invariants of T, the determinant and trace of its linear part. The purpose of this thesis is to obtain a corresponding classification in the hyperbolic plane of conics defined by this construction.

Primary Decomposition Of Ideals In A Ring, Sola Oyinsan
Primary Decomposition Of Ideals In A Ring, Sola Oyinsan
Theses Digitization Project
The concept of unique factorization was first recognized in the 1840s, but even then, it was still fairly believed to be automatic. The error of this assumption was exposed largely through attempts to prove Pierre de Fermat's, 1601-1665, last theorem. Once mathematicians discovered that this property did not always hold, it was only natural for them to try to search for the strongest available alternative. Thus began the attempt to generalize unique factorization. Using the ascending chain condition on principle ideals, we will show the conditions under which a ring is a unique factorization domain.

The Structure Of Semisimple Artinian Rings, Ravi Samuel Pandian
The Structure Of Semisimple Artinian Rings, Ravi Samuel Pandian
Theses Digitization Project
Proves two famous theorems attributed to J.H.M. Wedderburn, which concern the structure of noncommutative rings. The two theorems include, (1) how any semisimple Artinian ring is the direct sum of a finite number of simple rings; and, (2) the Wedderburn-Artin Theorem. Proofs in this paper follow those outlined in I.N. Herstein's monograph Noncommutative Rings with examples and details provided by the author.
