PDXOpen: Open Educational Resources

Video lectures explaining problem solving strategies are available

Our goal in this set of lecture notes is to provide students with a strong foundation in mathematical analysis. Such a foundation is crucial for future study of deeper topics of analysis. Students should be familiar with most of the concepts presented here after completing the calculus sequence. However, these concepts will be reinforced through rigorous proofs.

The lecture notes contain topics of real analysis usually covered in a 10-week course: the completeness axiom, sequences and convergence, continuity, and differentiation. In addition, the notes include many carefully selected exercises of various levels …


Topological Data Analysis And Ant Interaction Networks, Adam Banatwala, Esther Rønn Apr 2022

Topological Data Analysis And Ant Interaction Networks, Adam Banatwala, Esther Rønn

Mathematics & Computer Science Student Scholarship

Faculty Mentor: Dr. Laura Murray, Mathematics and Computer Science

Our research group used topological data analysis (TDA) to quantify the movement and behavior of ants in a colony.

We extracted higher dimensional networks from point cloud data collected from Dr. James Waters’ lab. Varying the proximity parameter in this construction gives a sequence of networks. We analyzed the enduring topological features of these networks, and how these features evolve over time as the ants move in the colony. Both the experimental and null model simulation data …


Banach Spaces On Topological Ramsey Structures, Cheng-Chih Ko Jan 2022

Banach Spaces On Topological Ramsey Structures, Cheng-Chih Ko

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A Banach space T1(d, θ) with a Tsirelson-type norm is constructed on the top of the topological Ramsey space T1 defined by Dobrinen and Todorcevic [6]. Finite approximations of the isomorphic subtrees are utilised in constructing the norm. The subspace on each “branch” of the tree is shown to resemble the structure of an ℓn+1 -space where the dimension corresponds to the number of terminal nodes on that branch. The Banach space T1(d, θ) is isomorphic to (∑n∊ℕ⊕ℓn+1)p , where d ∈ ℕ with d ≥ 2, …
