A Study Of Finite Symmetrical Groups, May Majid
A Study Of Finite Symmetrical Groups, May Majid
Theses Digitization Project
This study investigated finite homomorphic images of several progenitors, including 2*⁵ : S₅, 2*⁶ : A₆, and 3*⁵ : C₅ The technique of manual of double coset enumeration is used to construct several groups by hand and computer-based proofs are given for the isomorphism types of the groups that are not constructed.
Enumeration And Symmetric Presentations Of Groups, With Music Theory Applications, Jesse Graham Train
Enumeration And Symmetric Presentations Of Groups, With Music Theory Applications, Jesse Graham Train
Theses Digitization Project
The purpose of this project is to construct groups as finite homomorphic images of infinite semi-direct products. In particular, we will construct certain classical groups and subgroups of sporadic groups, as well groups with applications to the field of music theory.
The Fibonacci Sequence And Hosoya's Triangle, Jeffrey Lee Smith
The Fibonacci Sequence And Hosoya's Triangle, Jeffrey Lee Smith
Theses Digitization Project
The purpose of this thesis is to study the Fibonacci sequence in a context many are unfamiliar with. A triangular array of numbers, similar looking to Pascal's triangle, was constructed a few decades ago and is called Hosoya's triangle. Each element within the triangle is created using Fibonacci numbers.
Comparing The Algebraic And Analytical Properties Of P-Adic Numbers With Real Numbers, Joseph Colton Wilson
Comparing The Algebraic And Analytical Properties Of P-Adic Numbers With Real Numbers, Joseph Colton Wilson
Theses Digitization Project
This study will provide a glimpse into the world of p-adic numbers, which encompasses a different way to measure the distance between rational numbers. Simple calculations and surprising results are examined to help familiarize the reader to the new space.
Orthogonal Polynomials, George Gevork Antashyan
Orthogonal Polynomials, George Gevork Antashyan
Theses Digitization Project
This thesis will show work on Orthogonal Polynomials. In mathematics, the type of polynomials that are orthogonal to each other under inner product are called orthogonal polynomials. Jacobi polynomials, Laguerre polynomials, and Hermite polynomials are examples of classical orthogonal polynomials that was invented in the nineteenth century. The theory of rational approximations is one of the most important applications of orthogonal polynomials.
Solutions To A Generalized Pell Equation, Kyle Christopher Castro
Solutions To A Generalized Pell Equation, Kyle Christopher Castro
Theses Digitization Project
This study aims to extend the notion of continued fractions to a new field Q (x)*, in order to find solutions to generalized Pell's Equations in Q [x] . The investigation of these new solutions to Pell's Equation will begin with the necessary extensions of theorems as they apply to polynomials with rational coefficients and fractions of such polynomials in order to describe each "family" of solutions.
Prouhet-Tarry-Escott Problem, Juan Manuel Gutierrez
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.
Leonhard Euler's Contribution To Infinite Polynomials, Jack Dean Meekins
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.
Symmetric Generation, Lisa Sanchez
Symmetric Generation, Lisa Sanchez
Theses Digitization Project
The purpose of this project is to conduct a systematic search for finite homomorphic images of infinite semi-direct products mn : N, where m = 2,3,5,7 and N <̲ Sn and construct by hand some of the important homomorphic images that emerge from the search.
Symmetric Generation Of M₂₂, Bronson Cade Lim
Symmetric Generation Of M₂₂, Bronson Cade Lim
Theses Digitization Project
This study will prove the Mathieu group M₂₂ contains two symmetric generating sets with control grougp L₃ (2). The first generating set consists of order 3 elements while the second consists of involutions.
Morse Theory, Rozaena Naim
Morse Theory, Rozaena Naim
Theses Digitization Project
This study will mainly concentrate on Morse Theory. Morse Theory is the study of the relations between functions on a space and the shape of the space. The main part of Morse Theory is to look at the critical points of a function, and to find information on the shape of the space using the information about the critical points.
The Proof Of Fermat's Last Theorem, Mohamad Trad
The Proof Of Fermat's Last Theorem, Mohamad Trad
Theses Digitization Project
Fermat, Pierre de, is perhaps the most famous number theorist who ever lived. Fermat's Last Theorem states that the equation xn + yn = zn has no non-zero integer solutions for x, y and z when n>2.
