    Extractions: A B C D ... V-Z A digraph is acyclic if it contains no cycles A directed edge of a digraph. Some authors use it as a synonym for an edge of a graph. Other synonyms for arc in a digraph are arrow, directed line, directed edge, and directed link. A representation of a digraph using the arcs of the digraph. Can be an unordered listing of the ordered pairs, or a pair of ordered lists with the starting vertex in one list and the ending vertex in the corresponding position of the second list. A 0-1 square matrix whose rows and columns are indexed by the vertices. A 1 in the ij-th position of the matrix means that there is an edge (or arc ) from vertex i to vertex j. A indicates that there is no such edge (or arc). Can be used for both graphs and digraphs. A representation of a graph or digraph which lists, for each vertex, all the vertices that are adjacent to the given vertex. Two vertices are adjacent if they are connected by an edge . We often call these two vertices neighbors . Two adjacent vertices: A graph is bipartite if the vertices can be partitioned into two sets, X and Y, so that the only

67. Albertus
    Brief biography, with bibliographical references. From the Department of Mathematics, California State University, San Bernardino.  
    http://www.math.csusb.edu/history/public_html/Mathematicians/Albertus.html
    
    Extractions: Version for printing Albert (or Albertus) After joining the Dominican Order, he studied and taught at Padua, Bologna, Cologne and other German convents in Hildesheim, Freiburg, Ratisbon, Strasburg, and Cologne. He was sent to the Dominican convent of Saint-Jacques at the University of Paris in about 1241 where he read the new translations, with commentaries, of the Arabic and Greek texts of Aristotle . This was a period when the writings of Arabic scholars, and through them the texts of ancient Greek philosophers, was becoming known throughout Christian Europe and it was having to come to terms with this new knowledge. Albertus would play a major role in accepting this new learning into Europe with his wide ranging scholarship over essentially the whole of knowledge. He taught for four years at Saint-Jacques, giving courses on the Bible and on the theological textbook

68. Books On Algebra
    A reading list by Lee Lady, University of Hawaii.  
    http://www.math.hawaii.edu/~lee/algebra/references.html
    
    Extractions: This is a very nice, small, readable book. Most of all, it is interesting . It probably represents the strongest influence on the graduate algebra course I teach. 3 volumes, covering undergraduate algebra, standard graduate topics, and advanced topics. Horrendously expensive. This covers many of the important topics in both commutative and non-commutative ring theory in quite a bit of detail. I've only skimmed through it, but it looks like a good alternative to Hungerford or Lang. This is very readable and has a lot of good stuff that's too old fashioned to be included in many more modern books. This is somewhat comparable to the Jacobson book above. It's not quite as interesting, in my opinion, but it has a good exposition of the classical theory. Curtis and Reiner, Representations of Groups and Associative Algebras

70. Math Trek: Conquering Catalan’s Conjecture, Science News Online, June 22, 2002
    News article explains that Preda Mihailescu of the University of Paderborn in Germany may finally have the key to solving venerable problem. Features bibliographic references and links.  
    http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20020622/mathtrek.asp
    
    Extractions: Week of June 22, 2002; Vol. 161, No. 25 Ivars Peterson Innocent-looking problems involving whole numbers can stymie even the most astute mathematicians. As in the case of Fermat’s last theorem, centuries of effort may go into proving such tantalizing, deceptively simple conjectures in number theory. Now, Preda Mihailescu of the University of Paderborn in Germany finally may have the key to a venerable problem known as Catalan’s conjecture, which concerns the powers of whole numbers. Consider the sequence of all squares and cubes of whole numbers greater than 1, a sequence that begins with the integers 4, 8, 9, 16, 25, 27, and 36. In this sequence, 8 (the cube of 2) and 9 (the square of 3) are not only powers of integers but also consecutive whole numbers. In 1844, Belgian mathematician Eugène Charles Catalan (1814–1894) asserted that, among all powers of whole numbers, the only pair of consecutive integers is 8 and 9. Solving Catalan’s problem amounts to a search for whole-number solutions to the equation

    math has a shared history math has common cultural references Simpson s mathEvery reference to mathematics in any episode of the Simpson s is noted  
    http://www.math.upei.ca/html/miscellany.html
    
    Extractions: Math appears in popular culture THE SUBCULTURE OF MATHEMATICS Mathematics has existed as a discipline since the dawn of civilization, and yet a very small percentage of humanity actually is engaged in doing any mathematics beyond basic addition and subtraction. The group of people who do engage in mathematics is often referred to as "the mathematics community". The definition of community being applied here is "the body of people in a learned occupation" (from Cambrige International Dictionary), however, this group of mathematicians is in many ways might be more accurately described as a subculture. DEFINITION OF SUBCULTURE (from Cambridge International Dictionary) The way of life, customs and ideas of a particular group of people within a society, which are different from the rest of society. It is fair to say that the large majority of the population views mathematics with apathy, suspicion, or perhaps even antipathy. I'm sure you had the experience of being in a conversation with non-mathematicians where the topic of mathematics comes up and someone proudly announces: " I was not good at math in High School", or "I hate math". Can you think of any other area where people are proud to declare their ignorance? Only occasionally do you get: "I loved math in High School." As much as mathematicians try to reach across and communicate mathematics to the world, it seems there is a clear line separating the math subculture from the rest of the world. This math subculture is kept alive and vibrant by working mathematicians but is also enriched by the amateurs who enjoy mathematics and want to participate in the mathematics community.

72. Problems In Graph Theory And Combinatorics"
    A collection maintained by Douglas B. West, of the University of Illinois. Features brief introductions, along with references cited. Topics include matching and independence, connectivity, graph homomorphism and circular coloring.  
    http://www.math.uiuc.edu/~west/openp/
    
    Extractions: This site is a resource for research in graph theory and combinatorics. Open problems are listed along with what is known about them, updated as time permits. Individual pages contain such material as title, originator, date, statement of problem, background, partial results, comments, references. Also available is a Glossary of Terms Most pages in this directory have not yet been created; so far this is mostly a list of some well-known problems for which more detailed pages will be written later. Its accessibility at this early stage is a plea for contributed material to accelerate its development. The organization of topics roughly follows the four volumes of The Art of Combinatorics under development by D.B. West. Thus the four main headings are Extremal Graph Theory Structure of Graphs Order and Optimization , and Arrangements and Methods

    Extractions: This page provides some reference material for the IEEE-754 floating-point standard. It is a companion page to the three calculator pages: These calculators came into being in the fall semester of 1997 when I assigned my Computer Organization course an optional project to write a program that would print the values of the fields of IEEE-754 floating point numbers. One student, Quanfei Wen, decided to do the program as an interactive web page, using Javascript to do the calculations. I put Quanfei's pages up on my web site as a resource for other students taking my Computer Organization course, where it was found by Keven Brewer, who was working for Delco Electronics at the time. Kevin noticed some special cases that Quanfei's calculators didn't handle, and volunteered to work up the precise versions of the code that the calculators now use. Kevin also did a web search for information on the IEEE-754 standard, which is included in the
