Open Educational Resources

The file includes a variety of problems that emphasize the importance of modeling exponential growth and/or radioactive decay. Through different exercises and problems, the assignment goal is to improve their comprehension of exponential functions and hone their problem-solving abilities.


Mathematical Analysis Of The Duck Migration To Louisiana, Brandon Garcia Apr 2019

Mathematical Analysis Of The Duck Migration To Louisiana, Brandon Garcia

Mathematics Senior Capstone Papers

The purpose of this project is to research the relationship between duck migration and weather patterns, more specifically trying to determine if the rainfall and temperature in a given year affects the migration patterns of ducks. Duck hunters and conservation- ists alike have observed an overall decrease in the duck population in Louisiana over the past 70 years. Though some years have seen an increase, the population has not recovered to the level from the 1950s. These observations have led to many questions about what have happened to the ducks or where have the ducks gone. Using differ- ent forms …


Partially Confluent Maps And N-Ods, Van C. Nall Jan 1989

Partially Confluent Maps And N-Ods, Van C. Nall

Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications

Let f : X-->Y be a map between topological spaces. A Wf-set in Y is a continuum in Y which is the image under f of a continuum in X. The map f is partially confluent if each continuum in Y is the union of a finite number of Wf-sets, and n-partially confluent if each continuum in Y is the union of n Wf-sets. In this paper, it is shown that every partially confluent map onto an n-cell is weakly confluent. Also, the relationship between partially confluent maps and continua which …
