Some Theorems from Plane Lobachevskian Geometry (open access)

Some Theorems from Plane Lobachevskian Geometry

This paper will investigate the geometry that results when Euclid's fifth postulate is replaced by the Lobachevskian assumption. The investigations will be limited to the plane.

Which Came First : The Measure or the Integral? (open access)

Which Came First : The Measure or the Integral?

This thesis provides a development of integration from two different points of view. In Chapter I, a measure and a measurable function are defined. A theory of integration is then developed in Chapter II based on the measure. In Chapter III, the integral is introduced directly without first going through the process of defining a measure, and a measure is developed from the integral. The concluding chapter shows the equivalence of the two integrals under rather general conditions.

Some Properties of the Fibonacci Numbers (open access)

Some Properties of the Fibonacci Numbers

This thesis is presented as an introduction to the Fibonacci sequence of integers. It is hoped that this thesis will create in the reader more interest in this type of sequence and especially the Fibonacci sequence. It seems that this particular area of mathematics is often ignored in the classroom or touched upon far too briefly to stimulate curiosity and develop further interest in this field.

A Generalized Study of the Conjugate and Inner-Product Functions (open access)

A Generalized Study of the Conjugate and Inner-Product Functions

The usual practice in any discussion of an inner-product space is to restrict the field over which the inner-product space is defined to the field of complex numbers. In defining the inner-product function, (x,y), a second function is needed; namely the conjugate function (x,y)* so that (x,y) ± (y,x)*. We will attempt to generalize this concept by investigating the existence of a conjugate function defined on fields other than the field of complex numbers and relate this function to an inner-product function defined on a linear space L over these fields.

Properties of Order Relations and Certain Partly Ordered Systems

The purpose of this paper is to present a study of partly ordered sets. It includes a rigorous development of relations based on the notion of a relation as a set, lattices, and theorems concerning the lattice of subgroups of a group.

The Runge-Kutta Method (open access)

The Runge-Kutta Method

This paper investigates the Runge-Kutta method of numerically integrating ordinary differential equations. An existence theorem is given insuring a solution to the differential equation, then the theorem is modified to yield an analytic solution. The derivation of the method itself is followed by an analysis of the inherent error.

T-Functions (open access)

T-Functions

The main purpose of this paper is to make a detailed study of a certain class T of complex functions. The functions of the class T have a special mapping property and are meromorphic in every region. As an application of this study, certain elementary functions are defined and studied in terms of a special T-function.
