Franklin Classics in Applied Mathematics 37 Many advances have taken place in the field of combinatorial algorithms since Methods of Mathematical Economics first appeared two decades ago. Despite these advances and the development of new computing methods, several basic theories and methods remain important today for understanding mathematical programming and fixed-point theorems. In this easy-to-read classic, readers learn Wolfe's method, which remains useful for quadratic programming, and the Kuhn-Tucker theory, which underlies quadratic programming and most other nonlinear programming methods. In addition, the author presents multiobjective linear programming, which is being applied in environmental engineering and the social sciences. The book presents many useful applications to other branches of mathematics and to economics, and it contains many exercises and examples. The advanced mathematical results are proved clearly and completely. By providing the necessary proofs and presenting the material in a conversational style, Franklin made

Then e proof (assuming in addition that V(X i s We apply Chebyshev's inequality to Z n This theorem forms the bases of (almost) all simulation studies: say we want to find a parameter q q ) such that Eh(X) = q . Then by the law of large numbers Example: in a game a player rolls 5 fair dice. He then moves his game piece along k fields on a board, where k is the smallest number on the dice + largest number on the dice. For example if his dice show 2, 2, 3, 5, 5 he moves 2+5 = 7 fields. What is the mean number of fields q a player will move? To do this analytically would be quite an excercise. To do it via simulation is easy: Let X be an independent random vector of length 5, with X[j] 1,..,6 and P(X[j]=k)=1/6 let h(x) = min(x)+max(x), then Eh(X) =

Math 460 - Senior Seminar - Home Page Journey through Genius Instructor Brian Shelburne 329-E BDK Science Class Meetings Th 2:10 - 3:40 - Room 327 Textbook Journey Through Genius by W. Dunham Course Objectives This is a capstone course for mathematics majors. Its purpose is to let you think about and reflect on what mathematics is and to tie together your years of studying mathematics. Dunham's book, Journey Through Genius , covers the story of mathematics from the 5th century B.C.E. up to the 20th Century C.E. by looking at some famous problems and theorems, and the mathematicians who worked on them. The book is many things. It's a selective history of mathematics, it's a look at some of the famous and colorful "characters" who were mathematicians but most of all it's a well-written presentation of twelve interesting and famous theorems in mathematics. Through the twelve theorems, Dunham presents his idea of what makes a theorem great! . The book is well written, fun to read and it will give you a deeper appreciation of the unique endeavor we call mathematics . Enjoy!

The group also looks at ways to expand meaning by interweaving literature with social studies and other disciplines, and the value of doing so.

Next: Homework problems Up: Advanced Geometry III Previous: The nine-point circle Ceva's and Menelaus's Theorems The line segment joining a vertex of a triangle to any given point on the opposite side is called a cevian . Thus, if X Y and Z are points on the respective sides BC CA and AB of triangle ABC , the segments AX BY and CZ are cevians. This term comes from the name of the Italian mathematician Giovanni Ceva, who published in 1678 the following very useful theorem: Ceva's Theorem If three cevians AX BY and CZ , one through each vertex of a triangle ABC , are concurrent, then Conversely, if this equation holds for points X Y and Z on the three sides, then these three point are concurrent. (We say that three lines or segments are concurrent if they all pass through one point) Figure 2: Ceva's theorem Proof. Given the concurrence we can use that the areas of the triangles with equal altitudes are proportional to the bases of the triangles. Referring to Figure , we have Similarly, Now, if we multiply these, we find Conversely, suppose that the first two cevians meet at

57. What Is Riemannian Geometry? From the laws of Euclidean Geometry, we get the famous theorems like Pythagorus Theorem and all the formulas you learn in trigonometry, like the law of http://www.mat.jhu.edu/~sormani/research/riemgeom.html

What is Riemannian Geometry? A description for the nonmathematician. Euclidean Geometry is the study of flat space. Between every pair of points there is a unique line segment which is the shortest curve between those two points. These line segments can be extended to lines. Lines are infinitely long in both directions and for every pair of points on the line, the segment of the line between them is the shortest curve that can be drawn between them. Furthermore, if you have a line and a point which isn't on the line, there is a second line running through the point, which is parallel to the first line (never hits it). All of these ideas can be described by drawing on a flat piece of paper. From the laws of Euclidean Geometry, we get the famous theorems like Pythagorus' Theorem and all the formulas you learn in trigonometry, like the law of cosines. In geometry you also learned how to find the circumference and area of a circle. In Vector Calculus you are also taught how to measure surface area using double integrals. Sometimes when you compute double integrals you use a change of variables and a Jacobian. These techniques are used regularly by Riemannian Geometers. Like most mathematicians, Riemannian Geometers look for theorems even when there are no practical applications. The theorems that can be used to study gravitational lensing are much older than Einstein's Equation and the Hubble telescope. We expect that practical applications of our theorems will be discovered some day in the future. Without having mathematical theorems sitting around for them to apply, physicists would have trouble discovering new theories and describing them. Einstein, for example, studied Riemannian Geometry before he developed his theories. His equation involves a special curvature called Ricci curvature, which was defined first by mathematicians and was very useful for his work. Ricci curvature is a kind of average curvature used in dimensions 3 and up. In Linear Algebra you are taught how to take the trace of a matrix. Ricci curvature is a trace of a matrix made out of sectional curvatures.

59. Chris Wood: Project Titles it is possible to prove the most famous/amazing theorem of classical of the famous theorems of classical topology, such as the Jordan Curve Theorem. http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~cmw4/proj.html

Project Titles The Geometry of Curves BA/BSc Project Although we spend a certain amount of time in the first two years of the York maths degree dealing with curves, most of the time they are treated merely as "things to integrate over" and not (with the exception of the conics, which we meet in the first year) studied for their own sake. In the third year, there is a handful of lectures on the geometry of curves in the Differential Geometry module, but these merely scratch the surface. This is a shame, because the geometry of curves has consistently delighted and intrigued mathematicians through the ages: for example, from the ancient Greek Cissoid of Diocles (discovered in connection with the problem of "duplicating the cube"), through the curiously named Witch of Agnesi, to the Bezier curves theory of contact ), and a range of geometric techniques for producing new curves from old ones (such as roulettes, evolutes, involutes, envelopes, orthotomics, caustics). These constructional techniques, which are interesting in their own right, are also useful because they throw up relationships between curves which at first sight look quite different (for example, the tractrix is the involute of the catenary), and help to identify certain geometric features (for example, the inflexion points of a curve, which are usually hard to spot by direct inspection, turn out to correspond to cusps on the evolute, which are blindingly obvious!). Prerequisites: calculus, upto the level of Vector Calculus I (
