Discordium Mathematica - A Symphony In Aleph Minor, Vijay Fafat Jul 2024

Discordium Mathematica - A Symphony In Aleph Minor, Vijay Fafat

Journal of Humanistic Mathematics

How did Mathematics arise? Who created it? Why is it subject to Godel’s Incompleteness Theorems? And what does all this have to do with Coleridge’s poem, “Kubla Khan”, and “The Person from Porlock”? Here is a complete mythology of Mathematics set in an epic poetry format, fusing thoughts and verses from Western religions and Eastern mysticism… Those with immense patience and careful reading shall reap the fruit… (best read on a large screen or in printed form)


Combinatorial Polynomial Hirsch Conjecture, Sam Miller Jan 2017

Combinatorial Polynomial Hirsch Conjecture, Sam Miller

HMC Senior Theses

The Hirsch Conjecture states that for a d-dimensional polytope with n facets, the diameter of the graph of the polytope is at most n-d. This conjecture was disproven in 2010 by Francisco Santos Leal. However, a polynomial bound in n and d on the diameter of a polytope may still exist. Finding a polynomial bound would provide a worst-case scenario runtime for the Simplex Method of Linear Programming. However working only with polytopes in higher dimensions can prove challenging, so other approaches are welcome. There are many equivalent formulations of the Hirsch Conjecture, one of which is the …

The Mathematical Landscape, Antonio Collazo Jan 2011

The Mathematical Landscape, Antonio Collazo

CMC Senior Theses

The intent of this paper is to present the reader will enough information to spark a curiosity in to the subject.  By no means is the following a complete formulation of any of the topics covered.  I want to give the reader a tour of the mathematical landscape.  There are plenty of further details to explore in each section, I have just touched the tip the iceberg.  The work is basically in four sections: Numbers, Geometry, Functions, Sets and Logic, which are the basic building blocks of Math.  The first sections are a exposition into the mathematical objects and their …
