Modern Art Through Geometric Eyes, Janice M. West
Modern Art Through Geometric Eyes, Janice M. West
Honors Theses
When tourists--even homefolks--go through a modern art museum, many opinions are accumulated. Some people may have chills when they see a certain painting, while others get a sick feeling of dizziness when they see the same one. In fact, if there were an opinion box at the exit of an art show, I imagine you could almost accurately count the different opinions by counting the total number of people who viewed the show. Yet, there is one opinion that most 'ole foggies' (and I use the term loosely) would agree upon, and that is this: "Why that's nothing but a …
Imbedding Problems In Graph Theory, William Goodwin
Imbedding Problems In Graph Theory, William Goodwin
Honors Theses
For some years there has been interest among mathematicians in determining the different ways in which certain graphs can be imbedded in given surfaces. M.P. VanStraten in 1948, determined that it is possible to imbed the graph K3,3 (which is the graph representing the famous three houses, three utilities problem) in the torus in only two ways. She then used this fact to show that the graph representing the configuration of Desargues (containing K3,3 as a subgraph) has genus two. One major source of motivation for the work on imbedding problems has been their relation to coloring problems …
