Leonhard Euler's Contribution To Infinite Polynomials, Jack Dean Meekins Jan 2012

Leonhard Euler's Contribution To Infinite Polynomials, Jack Dean Meekins

Theses Digitization Project

This thesis will focus on Euler's famous method for solving the infinite polynomial. It will show how he manipulated the sine function to find all possible points along the sine function such that the sine A would equal to y; these would be roots of the polynomial. It also shows how Euler set the infinite polynomial equal to the infinite product allowing him to determine which coefficients were equal to which reciprocals of the roots, roots squared, roots cubed, etc.


Prouhet-Tarry-Escott Problem, Juan Manuel Gutierrez Jan 2012

Prouhet-Tarry-Escott Problem, Juan Manuel Gutierrez

Theses Digitization Project

The purpose of this research paper is to gain a deeper understanding of a famous unsolved mathematical problem known as the Prouhet-Terry-Escott Problem. The Prouhet-Terry-Escott Problem is a complex problem that still has much to be discovered. This fascinating problem shows up in many areas of mathematics such as the study of polynomials, graph theory, and the theory of integral quadratic forms.


An Investigation Of Kurosh's Theorem, Keith Anthony Earl Jan 2010

An Investigation Of Kurosh's Theorem, Keith Anthony Earl

Theses Digitization Project

The purpose of this project will be an exposition of the Kurosh Theorem and the necessary and suffcient condition that A must be algebraic and satisfy a P.I. to be locally finite.

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.
