The Complexity Of Linear Algebra, Leann Kay Christensen Jan 2013

The Complexity Of Linear Algebra, Leann Kay Christensen

Theses Digitization Project

This study examines the complexity of linear algebra. Complexity means how much work, or the number of calculations or time it takes to perform a task. As linear algebra is used more and more in different fields, it becomes useful to study ways of reducing the amount of work required to complete basic procedures.


A Study Of Finite Symmetrical Groups, Patrick Kevin Martinez Jan 2013

A Study Of Finite Symmetrical Groups, Patrick Kevin Martinez

Theses Digitization Project

This study discovered several important groups that involve the classical and sporadic groups. These groups appeared as finite homomorphic images of the progenitors 3*8 : PGL₂(7), 2*¹⁴ : L₃ (2), 5*³ : S₃ and 7*2 : m S₃.


Construction Of Homomorphic Images, Stephanie Ann Hilber Jan 2009

Construction Of Homomorphic Images, Stephanie Ann Hilber

Theses Digitization Project

This thesis constructs several finite homomorphic images of infinite semi-direct products of the form 2*n:N.


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

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.


The Solvability Of Polynomials By Radicals: A Search For Unsolvable And Solvable Quintic Examples, Robert Lewis Beyronneau Jan 2005

The Solvability Of Polynomials By Radicals: A Search For Unsolvable And Solvable Quintic Examples, Robert Lewis Beyronneau

Theses Digitization Project

This project centers around finding specific examples of quintic polynomials that were and were not solvable. This helped to devise a method for finding examples of solvable and unsolvable quintics.


Fundamental Theorem Of Algebra, Paul Shibalovich Jan 2002

Fundamental Theorem Of Algebra, Paul Shibalovich

Theses Digitization Project

The fundamental theorem of algebra (FTA) is an important theorem in algebra. This theorem asserts that the complex field is algebracially closed. This thesis will include historical research of proofs of the fundamental theorem of algebra and provide information about the first proof given by Gauss of the theorem and the time when it was proved.


Solutions To The Chinese Postman Problem, Kenneth Peter Cramm Jan 2000

Solutions To The Chinese Postman Problem, Kenneth Peter Cramm

Theses Digitization Project

Considering the Chinese Postman Problem, in which a mailman must deliver mail to houses in a neighborhood. The mailman must cover each side of the street that has houses, at least once. The focus of this paper is our attempt to discover the optimal path, or the least number of times each street is walked. The integration of algorithms from graph theory and operations research form the method used to explain solutions to the Chinese Postman Problem.
