Ode To The Square Root: A Historical Journey, Dorothy W. Goldberg

Humanistic Mathematics Network Journal

The author gives a personal history of experiences in finding the square root of a number by the “do it thus” method—from algorithm to table to calculator. Why each procedure works is elucidated, making liberal use of the history of mathematics.

Senior Seminar: A Capstone Course In The Computer And Mathematical Sciences, Ken Oberhoff, Ron Barnes Sep 2000

Senior Seminar: A Capstone Course In The Computer And Mathematical Sciences, Ken Oberhoff, Ron Barnes

Humanistic Mathematics Network Journal

This paper describes the evolution of a course developed to tie together many strands of activity encountered by students in the computer and mathematical sciences (CMS). The senior level course is required of all majors in our computer science, applied mathematics and statistics undergraduate degree programs. One of the primary purposes of the course is to refine writing and presentation skills needed for those who will later pursue individual research projects. Writing projects are organized around the theme of “Ethical Decision Making in the Computer and Mathematical Sciences”. Numerous case studies are investigated. Additional topics in the course include designing …

The Fermat Point And The Steiner Problem, J. N. Boyd, P. N. Raychowdhury Apr 2000

The Fermat Point And The Steiner Problem, J. N. Boyd, P. N. Raychowdhury

Virginia Journal of Science

We revisit the convex coordinates of the Fermat point of a triangle. We have already computed these convex coordinates in a general setting. In this note, we obtain the coordinates in the context of the Steiner problem. Thereafter, we pursue calculations suggested by the problem.

A Special Quasi-Linear Mapping And Its Degree, Aki̇f Abbasov Jan 2000

A Special Quasi-Linear Mapping And Its Degree, Aki̇f Abbasov

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this article, for the purpose of expanding to the mappings between Banach manifolds, a degree is determined in for the mappings between Banach spaces, which are from the obvious class.
