Average Genus Of The Cube, Jody Koenemann
Average Genus Of The Cube, Jody Koenemann
Honors Theses
In recent years, there has been interest in the mathematical community in a rapidly developing branch of theoretical mathematics known as random topological graph theory. This new area of mathematics explores the different ways in which certain graphs can be imbedded in given surfaces. The random nature of the new branch results when one also imposes a random distribution on set of all imbeddings of a fixed graph, via the orientation of the edges at each vertex. Using the technique of J. Edmonds, developed in 1960, this paper explores the imbeddings for the graph Q3 using a particular group …
Third Order Degree Regular Graphs, Leslie D. Hayes
Third Order Degree Regular Graphs, Leslie D. Hayes
Honors Theses
A graph G is regular of degree d if for every vertex v in G there exist exactly d vertices at distance 1 from v. A graph G is kth order regular of degree d if for every vertex v in G, there exist exactly d vertices at distance k from v. In this paper, third order regular graphs of degree 1 with small order are characterized.
Symmetric Designs, Difference Sets, And A New Way To Look At Macfarland Difference Sets, John Bowen Polhill Jr.
Symmetric Designs, Difference Sets, And A New Way To Look At Macfarland Difference Sets, John Bowen Polhill Jr.
Honors Theses
In this paper, the topics of symmetric designs and difference sets are discussed both separately and in relation to each other. Then an approach to MacFarland Difference Sets using the theory behind homomorphisms from groups into the complex numbers is introduced. This method is contrasted with the method of finding this type of difference set used by E.S. Launder in his book Symmetric Designs: An Algebraic Approach.
Topics In Cyclotomic And Quadratic Fields, Pam Mellinger
Topics In Cyclotomic And Quadratic Fields, Pam Mellinger
Honors Theses
This paper introduces cyclotomic and quadratic fields and explores some of their properties and applications to problems in number theory. After some preliminary definitions and theorems, the paper looks at the relationship between quadratic and cyclotomic fields, at Kummer's lemma on units in the pth cyclotomic field, and at the Quadratic Reciprocity Law and its applications to diophantine equations.
Rise To Power Of Senator Joseph R. Mccarthy: Reflections Of The Cold War Mccarthy Era In American Film, Scott Lainer
Rise To Power Of Senator Joseph R. Mccarthy: Reflections Of The Cold War Mccarthy Era In American Film, Scott Lainer
Honors Theses
The common bond between much of the film industry and Joseph McCarthy was insecurity and the drive for national approval. If one grasps the specific characteristics of McCarthy the man, and the methods of these politically "inspired" movies, we can to better place the period into context and acknowledge the fact that, if the citizenry is not aware, and is again caught by an ever-building wave of trickle down sentiment, the 1950s might not prove to be an isolated period in American history. Insecurity was not a fifties novelty. It still exists, and could potentially escalate anti-Communist policy and sentiment …
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 …

Air Force Rotc At The University Of Richmond, 1951-1957, Robert J. Dandridge
Honors Theses
In the summer of 1950, after the seriousness of the Korean conflict had become evident, a special committee appointed three years earlier by the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees was reactivated for the purpose of considering "the feasibility of applying for a Reserve Office Training Corps unit" for the University of Richmond. This special committee, called the ROTC Committee, after thorough study, rendered a unanimous recommendation to the Board that a unit of Army ROTC be applied for. The application was completed and mailed to the Department of the Army. Approval of the application was not long in …
