Existence Of A Positive Solution For A Right-Focal Dynamic Boundary Value Problem, Jeffrey Lyons Oct 2012

Existence Of A Positive Solution For A Right-Focal Dynamic Boundary Value Problem, Jeffrey Lyons

Mathematics Colloquium Series

This talk presents an application made from an extension of the Leggett-Williams fixed-point theorem—which requires neither of the functional boundaries to be invariant—to a second-order right focal dynamic boundary value problem on a time scale. To conclude, Lyons will provide a non-trivial example.


A Multiplicative "Conic", Tiffany Lundy Apr 2012

A Multiplicative "Conic", Tiffany Lundy

Undergraduate Research Conference

Early in their mathematical career, students learn about how ellipses and hyperbolas are formed, their properties, and their applications. In particular, an ellipse is the set of all points in the plane whose combined distance from two fixed locations (foci) is constant. A hyperbola is formed in much the same way, except instead of combining (adding) the distance from the foci, the difference is used. This research begins by examining a new locus of points. The locus of points if formed by taking all points whose distance from two fixed locations when multiplied in constant. The difference discernible types of …


Solids Of Revolution Formed By Rotating Functions, Cory Robinson, Blake Moyer Apr 2012

Solids Of Revolution Formed By Rotating Functions, Cory Robinson, Blake Moyer

Undergraduate Research Conference

During Calculus students learn how to find the volume of regions formed by rotating a function about a vertical or horizontal line. This technique is useful in finding the volume of regular/symmetric three dimensional regions, but fails for regions which do not possess these qualities. This project is a generalization of this idea in order to find the volume of a solid generated by revolving one function about another. This should lead to being able to find or approximate the volume of regions which are not symmetric/regular.

Session D-3: Discrete Mathematics: A Great Curriculum Connector, Donald Porzio Mar 2012

Session D-3: Discrete Mathematics: A Great Curriculum Connector, Donald Porzio

Professional Learning Day

Many topics that fall under the umbrella of Discrete Mathematics cut across the traditional high school curriculum areas of algebra, geometry, and pre-calculus. Come try some classroom-ready hands-on Discrete Mathematics activities that illustrate the true interconnectedness of mathematics.
