Gauss' Hypergeometric Equation, William R. Smith Jun 1939

Gauss' Hypergeometric Equation, William R. Smith

Master's Theses

As early as the seventeenth century the English mathematician, john Wallis (1616-1703), used the term "hypergeometric" to describe a series which he was studying. This series, ∑(a)(a+b)(a+2b)…(a+n-1b), is quite different from the usual geometric series, hence the term, "hyper" (=above) plus "geometric," was used to signify that the series was of greater complexity than the geometric series. Wallis did not consider his series a power series or a function of x.

In 1769 this series received a remarkable development at the hands of Loonhard Euler who, following the example of Wallis, applied the word "hypergeometric" to it. He observed that …

Ambrose Bierce, Walter Richardson Hudgins Apr 1939

Ambrose Bierce, Walter Richardson Hudgins

Master's Theses

While Bierce is not a great writer, when compared with the really great, he has a peculiar fascination for a select group of readers. And his fame will live more by change than by any general public acclaim. Like many others, I first became acquainted with him purely by accident. Since then I have come to know him better through desire.

Of the scores of people I have asked to give their reaction to Bierce, scacely more than a half dozen professed any knowledge that such a person ever existed. This much I noticed: All of the people who knew …
