Review Of The Joy Of X: A Guided Tour Of Math, From One To Infinity By Steven Strogatz, Michael T. Catalano
Numeracy
Strogatz, Steven. The Joy of x: A Guided Tour of Math, from One to Infinity, (New York, NY, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2012). 316 pp. ISBN 978-0-547-51765-0
The Joy of x: A Guided Tour of Math, from One to Infinity, by Steven Strogatz, is an engaging and example-filled argument for mathematics as a valuable and enjoyable activity. The thirty chapters are divided into six parts, entitled Numbers, Relationships, Shapes, Change, Data, and Frontiers. The discussion ranges from intuitive explanations of basic concepts such as place value, the four arithmetic operations, percentage increase and decrease, and solving equations, to “higher” levels …
Bad Boundary Behavior In Star Invariant Subspaces I, William T. Ross, Andreas Hartmann
Bad Boundary Behavior In Star Invariant Subspaces I, William T. Ross, Andreas Hartmann
Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications
We discuss the boundary behavior of functions in star invariant subspaces (BH2)1, where B is a Blaschke product. Extending some results of Ahern and Clark, we are particularly interested in the growth rates of functions at points of the spectrum of B where B does not admit a derivative in the sense of Carathéodory.
A Twisted Dimer Model For Knots, Heather M. Russell, Moshe Cohen, Oliver Dasbach
A Twisted Dimer Model For Knots, Heather M. Russell, Moshe Cohen, Oliver Dasbach
Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications
We develop a dimer model for the Alexander polynomial of a knot. This recovers Kauffman's state sum model for the Alexander polynomial using the language of dimers. By providing some additional structure we are able to extend this model to give a state sum formula for the twisted Alexander polynomial of a knot depending on a representation of the knot group.
A Reduced Set Of Moves On One-Vertex Ribbon Graphs Coming From Links, Heather M. Russell, Susan Abernathy, Cody Armond, Moshe Cohen, Oliver T. Dasbach, Hannah Manuel, Chris Penn, Neal W. Stoltzfus
A Reduced Set Of Moves On One-Vertex Ribbon Graphs Coming From Links, Heather M. Russell, Susan Abernathy, Cody Armond, Moshe Cohen, Oliver T. Dasbach, Hannah Manuel, Chris Penn, Neal W. Stoltzfus

Every link in R3 can be represented by a one-vertex ribbon graph. We prove a Markov type theorem on this subset of link diagrams.
Keeping Your Options Open: An Introduction To Pricing Options, Ryan F. Snyder
Keeping Your Options Open: An Introduction To Pricing Options, Ryan F. Snyder
Senior Independent Study Theses
An option is a contract which gives the holder of the option the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a given security at a given price, which is called the strike price. For example, suppose Yahoo stock is currently trading at $10 per share. A person could buy an option that gives him or her the ability to purchase shares of Yahoo stock for $12 in one year. If the price of Yahoo stock is greater than $12 in one year, the holder of the option will make money. However, he or she will not use the …

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
It is possible to cover all (positive) integers with n geometrical progressions of integers? Find a necessary and sufficient condition for a general class of positive integer sequences such that, for a fixed n , there are n (distinct) sequences of this class which cover all integers.
