Senior Seminar: A Capstone Course In The Computer And Mathematical Sciences, Ken Oberhoff, Ron Barnes
Humanistic Mathematics Network Journal
This paper describes the evolution of a course developed to tie together many strands of activity encountered by students in the computer and mathematical sciences (CMS). The senior level course is required of all majors in our computer science, applied mathematics and statistics undergraduate degree programs. One of the primary purposes of the course is to refine writing and presentation skills needed for those who will later pursue individual research projects. Writing projects are organized around the theme of “Ethical Decision Making in the Computer and Mathematical Sciences”. Numerous case studies are investigated. Additional topics in the course include designing …

Optimal Token Allocations In Solitaire Knock'm Down, Arthur T. Benjamin, Mark L. Huber, Matthew T. Fluet '99
Optimal Token Allocations In Solitaire Knock'm Down, Arthur T. Benjamin, Mark L. Huber, Matthew T. Fluet '99

In the game Knock 'm Down, tokens are placed in N bins. At each step of the game, a bin is chosen at random according to a fixed probability distribution. If a token remains in that bin, it is removed. When all the tokens have been removed, the player is done. In the solitaire version of this game, the goal is to minimize the expected number of moves needed to remove all the tokens. Here we present necessary conditions on the number of tokens needed for each bin in an optimal solution, leading to an asymptotic solution.

Comments On D Branes And The Renormalization Group, Vatche Sahakian

We review the de Boer-Verlinde-Verlinde formalism for the renormalization group in the context of Dp-brane vacua for p < 5. We comment on various aspects of the dictionary between bulk and boundary and relate the discussion to the Randall-Sundrum scenario. We find that the gravitational coupling for the Randall-Sundrum gravity on the Dp-brane worldvolume is dressed by the c-function of the Yang-Mills theory. We compute the beta function and find the expected uneventful flow prescribed by the classical dimension of the Yang-Mills operator.

Fibonacci numbers arise in the solution of many combinatorial problems. They count the number of binary sequences with no consecutive zeros, the number of sequences of 1's and 2's which sum to a given number, and the number of independent sets of a path graph. Similar interpretations exist for Lucas numbers. Using these interpretations, it is possible to provide combinatorial proofs that shed light on many interesting Fibonacci and Lucas identities (see [1], [3]). In this paper we extend the combinatorial approach to understand relationships among generalized Fibonacci numbers.
Given G0 and G1 a generalized Fibonacci sequence G …

Evolution Of Positive Solution Curves In Semipositone Problems With Concave Nonlinearities, Alfonso Castro, Sudhasree Gadam, Ratnasingham Shivaji
Evolution Of Positive Solution Curves In Semipositone Problems With Concave Nonlinearities, Alfonso Castro, Sudhasree Gadam, Ratnasingham Shivaji

We study the existence, multiplicity, and stability of positive solutions to -u''(x) = λf(u(x)) for x є (-1,1), u(-1) = 0 = u(1), where λ > 0 and f:[0,∞)→R is monotonically increasing and concave with f(0) < 0 (semipositone). We establish that f should be appropriately concave (by establishing conditions on f) to allow multiple positive solutions. For any λ > 0, we obtain the exact number of positive solutions as a function of f(t)/t. We follow several families of nonlinearities f for which f(∞) := lim t→∞ f(t) > 0 and study how the positive solution curves to the above problem evolve. Also, we give examples where our results apply. This work extends the work of A. Castro and R. Shivaji (1988, Proc. Roy. Soc. Edinburgh …
The Age Of The Woolly Rhino From Dream Cave, Derbyshire, Uk, Donald A. Mcfarlane, Joyce Lundberg, Derek C. Ford
The Age Of The Woolly Rhino From Dream Cave, Derbyshire, Uk, Donald A. Mcfarlane, Joyce Lundberg, Derek C. Ford
WM Keck Science Faculty Papers
The Dream Cave woolly rhinoceros, Coelodonta antiquitatis, is a "classic" specimen of a "cold-stage" fossil fauna from central England. The find was illustrated and described by Dean William Buckland in his seminal tome Reliquiae Diluvianae (1823) during the first half of the 19th century, and made a significant contribution to the development of Buckland's views on the origin of extinct and extirpated fossil vertebrates. The report presents the first, albeit indirect, radiometric dates on the specimen, and argues that the animal fell into the cave just before 37,000 years BP, during the middle of Marine Isotope Stage 3 Interstadial (41 …
