Simulating Spatial Partial Differential Equations With Cellular Automata, Brian Paul Strader Jan 2008

Simulating Spatial Partial Differential Equations With Cellular Automata, Brian Paul Strader

Theses Digitization Project

The purpose of this project was to define the relationship and show how an important subset of spatial differential equations can be transformed into cellular automata. Contains source code.


Studies In Free Module And It's Basis, Hsu-Chia Chen Jan 2008

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.


Tessellations Of The Hyperbolic Plane, Roberto Carlos Soto Jan 2008

Tessellations Of The Hyperbolic Plane, Roberto Carlos Soto

Theses Digitization Project

In this thesis, the two models of hyperbolic geometry, properties of hyperbolic geometry, fundamental regions created by Fuchsian groups, and the tessellations that arise from such groups are discussed.


Factorization, Di Phan Reagan Jan 2008

Factorization, Di Phan Reagan

Theses Digitization Project

The purpose of this thesis will focus on the two most efficient algorithms which are quadratic sieve and number field sieve. Background information such as definitions and theorems are given to help understand the concepts behind each method.


Chinese Remainder Theorem And Its Applications, Jacquelyn Ha Lac Jan 2008

Chinese Remainder Theorem And Its Applications, Jacquelyn Ha Lac

Theses Digitization Project

No abstract provided.


Poincaré Duality, Christopher Michael Duran Jan 2008

Poincaré Duality, Christopher Michael Duran

Theses Digitization Project

This project is an expository study of the Poincaré duality theorem. Homology, cohomology groups of manifolds and other aglebraic and topological preliminaires are discussed.


Operations In Hilbert Space, Dennis Michael Gumaer Jan 2008

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.


Symmetric Representation Of The Elements Of Finite Groups, Barbara Hope Gwinn-Edwards Jan 2008

Symmetric Representation Of The Elements Of Finite Groups, Barbara Hope Gwinn-Edwards

Theses Digitization Project

The main purpose of this thesis is to construct finite groups as homomorphic images of infinite semi-direct products.


Foundations Of Geometry, Lawrence Michael Clarke Jan 2008

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.
