General Steps In The Revolution Of The Calculus From The Time Of The Ancients To The Present, Sister Mary Virginia
General Steps In The Revolution Of The Calculus From The Time Of The Ancients To The Present, Sister Mary Virginia
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation
Mathematics is the most ancient of the sciences, yet it is not surpassed by any in modernity, bu is flourishing to-day at a rate unsurpassed and unapparelled by means of the Calculus. Mathematics is like to a wheel, which has influenced mechanism... Who invented this wheel, is not known but its influence is unconsciously felt by you and me, and the whole world about us in a greater or lesser degree.

Preliminary Construction Of A Photo-Electric Cell Concentrator, Stanley S. Williams
Preliminary Construction Of A Photo-Electric Cell Concentrator, Stanley S. Williams
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The separation of the valuable portion from the waste portion of an ore is an individual problem for every ore. However, the various methods for accomplishing this end, more or less classify themselves by the physical properties of the constituents of the ore. Most of the properties of minerals have been utilized in some way or other to affect the separation of the valuable from the invaluable parts. Practically nothing has been done so far with color and luster to attain this purpose.
It is believed that the photo—electric cell could also be used in concentrating a certain class of …
A Study Of The Temperature Of The Vapor Above A Boiling Salt Solution, Leo Wilson Scott
A Study Of The Temperature Of The Vapor Above A Boiling Salt Solution, Leo Wilson Scott
Honors Theses
The problem of temperature of the vapor over a boiling salt solution, has attracted a great deal of interest in the past, due partly to the conflicting data to be had and to the apparent paradox in the statement of Michael Faraday "that the temperature of the vapor over a boiling solution was the same as it would be over the boiling pure solvent."
The Effect Of Amines On The Setting Time Of Silicic Acid Gels, Phillip Holmes Dewey
The Effect Of Amines On The Setting Time Of Silicic Acid Gels, Phillip Holmes Dewey
Honors Theses
It is known that when sodium silicate solution and an acid are mixed, a gel is sooner or later formed. The speed of gelation depends on a number of factors. The fundamental factors on which gelation depends are- (l) The concentration of water glass (2) The concentration of acid (3) Agitation (4) Temperature In this work, these four factors were kept as constant as possible. It is also known that the presence of NH3 considerably reduces the time of set. In this work, the effect of CH3 NH2, which is closely related to NH3, was studied. The effect of methyl …
An Investigation Of The Thermo- And Action- Electric Properties Of Molybdenite, William Otis Johnson
An Investigation Of The Thermo- And Action- Electric Properties Of Molybdenite, William Otis Johnson
Master's Theses
Considerable work has been done on various mineral substances and chemical compounds within recent years to ascertain, if possible, whether the substance possessed any degree of photo- or thermos-sensitivity; and, to determine the characteristics of these responses. Among the most prominent substances which have been tested are selenium, bismuth, antimony, hematite, stibnite, and molybdenite. It was the purpose of this investigation to summarize the phenomena that have occurred within samples of molybdenite under a variety of conditions involving heat, light, and e.m.f.
Probability, The Historical Development Of The Theory And Its Application To Games Of Chance, Rose M. Brandt
Probability, The Historical Development Of The Theory And Its Application To Games Of Chance, Rose M. Brandt
Bachelors’ Theses
The theory of probability had its origin in isolated mathematical problems taken from games of chance. The beginnings of many of our modern theories and concepts can be traced back to Chinese origin. So too can the theory of probability. With the exception of the Chinese problem, dating from the beginning of the Christian era, no reference seems to have again been made to the theory prior to the latter part of the fifteenth century. In 1494 an Italian monk, Pacioli, was one of the first to introduce the "Problem of Points" into a treatise on mathematics. By the solution …
The American Mastodon With Mandibular Tusks, Erwin H. Barbour
The American Mastodon With Mandibular Tusks, Erwin H. Barbour
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
Mastodons and mammoths, represented by their relics, are so frequently exposed by shovel, plow, road grader, dredge, and rains, that they have become household words. They are plainly the commonest and best-known vertebrate fossils. They were fortuitously entombed, and are now accidently found. Their relics, though numerous, never represent the grand total that lived. Indeed, it was a rare individual that fell where circumstances favored rapid interment and consequent preservation; the grand majority fell in the open where their bones suffered rapid and complete decay. The American mastodon occupies a position between the long-jawed, long-skulled, four-tusked ancestor called Palaeomastodon, and …

A Morning's Consignment Of Proboscidean Freight, Erwin Hinckley Barbour
A Morning's Consignment Of Proboscidean Freight, Erwin Hinckley Barbour
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
In the accompanying cut the array of great tusks outlined through their rough crates may lack attractiveness, nevertheless the assemblage is quite out of the ordinary, and seems worth recording in bulletin form. In all museums, and like institutions, freight and express deliveries are matters of daily routine; however, the morning's freight shown in the cut is unique. Herein is represented the more showy portion of the proboscidean freight received at the Nebraska State Museum in a single consignment, in the field season of 1930. The other boxes of mammoth skulls, jaws, and bones, received at the same time, are …
The Giant Beaver, Castoroides, And The Common Beaver, Castor, In Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour
The Giant Beaver, Castoroides, And The Common Beaver, Castor, In Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
Respecting the giant beaver, Castoroides, in Nebraska, four occurrences can be reported. Of rodents in general the dawn. was in the early Eocene, at which time there were in existence certain squirrel-like members of the order. Rodents are a persistent group, and are among the smallest, most distinctive, most numerous and widely distributed orders of terrestrial mammals. No other order boasts of so many species, the number being between nine hundred and one thousand. In spite of wide divergencies and modifications adapting them to various modes of life, such as climbing, burrowing, swimming, flying, leaping, and running, there is remarkable …
On The Trigonometric Expansion Of Elliptic Functions, M. A. Basoco
On The Trigonometric Expansion Of Elliptic Functions, M. A. Basoco
Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications
The problem of expressing an elliptic function in terms of infinite sums of trigonometric functions has been treated by Hermite, Briot and Bouquet, A. C. Dixon and others. In the present paper we treat the same problem from the point of view of Cauchy's residue theorem in function theory, which is also Briot and Bouquet's starting point, but we differ from these authors in that the integrand we use leads to an expansion for an elliptic function which is valid in an arbitrarily wide, but finite, strip of the complex plane, and which contains certain classical results as special cases. …
The Milford Mastodon, Mastodon Moodie I, Sp. Nov. A Preliminary Report, Erwin Hinckley Barbour
The Milford Mastodon, Mastodon Moodie I, Sp. Nov. A Preliminary Report, Erwin Hinckley Barbour
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
In developing the hydro-electric plant of the Iowa and Nebraska Light and Power Company, a number of dams were thrown across the Blue River and its branches. One of these, known as Dam No.7, was built across the West Blue, about nine miles southwest of Milford, Seward county, Nebraska. This dam raised the water well above the ordinary river level, and flooded fifteen or twenty acres of valley land. The impounded water soaked into, and washed against, the base of a twenty-foot bank of cross-bedded sand, until some time during the winter of 1931, a portion of the bank near …
A New Crinoid Slab, A Bit Of Mississipian Sea Bottom, Erwin Hinckley Barbour
A New Crinoid Slab, A Bit Of Mississipian Sea Bottom, Erwin Hinckley Barbour
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
Crinoids are popularly known as stone-lilies, featherstars, and sea-lilies. The word lily is a misnomer, and many, misled by the name and by the lily-like form, associate crinoids with the plant kingdom. The name, feather-star, seems explicit for it refers to the feathery arms surrounding the cup or calyx, and expresses relationship to the starfishes and their kind. The cup is attached to a stem, and the stem is anchored to the ocean floor by so-called roots, which are really hold-fasts, or anchors. These features may be seen in the diagram at the end.
A New Amebelodont, Torynobelodon Barnumbrowni, Sp. Nov. A Preliminary Report, Erwin Hinckley Barbour
A New Amebelodont, Torynobelodon Barnumbrowni, Sp. Nov. A Preliminary Report, Erwin Hinckley Barbour
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
The subfamily of longirostrine mastodonts known as the Amebelodontinae have been so recently discovered and described that as yet they; are little known by the citizens of this state. They are most briefly and directly described as shovel-tusked mastodons. The first one found, namely Amebelodon fricki, was secured in April 1927, and was published June 1927. In the meantime, many other examples of Amebelodonts have been added to the Morrill Palaeontological Collections of the Nebraska State Museum. The exact number cannot be stated until the material shipped in from the field during the current season is unpacked, cleaned, and identified. …
Evidence Of Dinosaurs In Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour
Evidence Of Dinosaurs In Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
Nebraska has long been a collecting ground famous for its fossil mammals, but as yet no dinosaurian bones have been reported, nor have they been expected. The distal end of a finely preserved femur, however, has recently been brought to light, supposedly occurring in position in the Dakota formation of eastern Nebraska. It was discovered, collected, and donated by Mr. J. B. White, (University of Nebraska, Law, class of 1899) on his farm two miles south of Decatur, in northeastern Burt County, near the Missouri River. It was found in undoubted Dakota sand associated with many leaf impressions. This is …
Geology And Acid Intrusions Of Marlboro Township, Vermont, Stanley Gordon Elder
Geology And Acid Intrusions Of Marlboro Township, Vermont, Stanley Gordon Elder
Honors Papers
It is the aim of this paper to examine the mineralization resulting from the intrusion of acid dikes and veins into the schists of Marlboro township, Vermont, and to give a brief account of the geology of the area.
The problem of mineralization in southern Vermont is one which has been treated very slightly and is one which is deserving of more study than it has received. This problem results from the presence of numerous acid igneous masses in all the formation of the region. Petrographic research in the igneous intrusions was done partially with the hope that the study …
Age Relationships Of Ore Deposits Of Southwestern Montana (A Microscopic Study), Charles R. Trueworthy
Age Relationships Of Ore Deposits Of Southwestern Montana (A Microscopic Study), Charles R. Trueworthy
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Although considerable work has been undertaken by some prominent geologists, the best known of which is that of Paul Billingsley and J. A. Grimes', in investigating the ore deposits of the Boulder Batholith and surrounding area, there has not been any complete microscopic investigation of these deposits, as a whole, published in the literature. With this in mind it was suggested to the writer by Professor Paul A. Schafer, of the Montana School of Mines, that a microscopic study of the ores of this region would be a worthwhile geologic problem.
It was thought that the mineral association and the …
Parametric Solutions Of Certain Diophantine Equations, T. A. Pierce
Parametric Solutions Of Certain Diophantine Equations, T. A. Pierce
Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications
In this note parametric solutions of certain diophantine equations are given. The method of obtaining the solutions is derived from an equation involving the determinants of certain matrices. It will be recognized that the method is a generalization of the method of Euler and Lagrange which depends on forms which repeat under multiplication. The matrices used in this paper must be such that their forms are retained under matric multiplication and addition. When integer values are assigned to the parameters of our solutions we obtain integer solutions of the particular equation under consideration; however not all integer solutions are necessarily …

The Musk-Oxen Of Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour
The Musk-Oxen Of Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
The remains of no less than eight fossil musk-oxen are already known in Nebraska, of which one is preserved in the Museum at Hastings, Nebraska, and seven in the State Museum at Lincoln. This is a large number to be recorded in anyone state. As late as 1891 authors wrote that but two examples of musk-oxen were known in the United States, one from Kentucky, and one from Arkansas, if, indeed, they be valid species. Now that pioneer days are well behind this commonwealth, and that there is a growing sentiment for exploration and proper display of the State's resources, …
The Three-Point Gap As A Means Of Control In Instantaneous Photography, Elgin Albert Denio
The Three-Point Gap As A Means Of Control In Instantaneous Photography, Elgin Albert Denio
Master's Theses
In 1926, Wynn Williams investigated the theory of the three-point gap, which phenomenon had been known and utilized for some time but until his investigation was not understood theoretically. This investigation has been divided into two distinct parts: First, when the energy was generated by a large Toepler-Holtz station machine; and second when the energy was generated by a one-kilowatt, 25,000 volt transformer.
