Pfaffian Differential Expressions And Equations, K. Raman Unni

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

It is needless to point out the necessity and the importance of the study of Pfaffian differential expressions and equations. While it is interesting to consider from the pure mathematical point of view, their applications in many branches of applied mathematics are well known. To mention a few, one may observe that they arise in connection with line integrals (example, determination of work). They provide a more rational formulation of the foundations of thermodynamics as developed by the Greek mathematician Caratheodory. They also arise in the problem of determining the orthogonal trajectories. In many branches of engineering and other physical …

The Solution Of Boundary Value Problems By Use Of The Laplace Transformation As Compared With Classical Methods, Dan W. Stoddard

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The purpose of this paper is to present a study of different methods of solving certain boundary value problems. In particular it will be concerned with solutions by classical methods and by operational methods. Of the various operational methods that may be considered, the Laplace transformation appears to be the best⁽¹⁾ and will be used in this paper.

In the 1951 Encyclopedia Americana Annual is this report on the activities in applied mathematics for the previous year:

Progress was made on the general problem of finding the eigenvalues of matrices and systems of differential equations. Considerable effort was also …

Mathematical Short Cuts And Checks, Leon Schram

Bachelors’ Theses

A computer naturally should be the master of short cuts and methods for checking his work. The latter is perhaps of more importance than the former because one must be able to show his employer that he knows that his work is correct.

Some Contributions Of Pure Math To Science, Herbert B.E. Case

Student and Lippitt Prize Essays

An examination of the connection between math and science through discoveries in the subjects of astronomy, mechanics, physics and chemistry.
