A reinterpretation, and new demonstrations of, the Borel Normal Number Theorem

Creator:: Rockwell, Daniel Luke
Abstract:: The notion of a normal number and the Normal Number Theorem date back over 100 years. Émile Borel first stated his Normal Number Theorem in 1909. Despite their seemingly basic nature, normal numbers are still engaging many mathematicians to this day. In this paper, we provide a reinterpretation of the...

Arithmetic dynamical questions with local rationality conditions

Creator:: Noytaptim, Chatchai
Abstract:: We introduce a numerical criterion which allows us to bound the degree of any algebraic integer having all of Galois conjugates in an interval of length less than 4. Using this criterion, we study two arithmetic dynamical questions with local rationality conditions. First, we classify all unicritical polynomials defined over...

On Small Heights of Totally p-adic Numbers

Creator:: Stacy, Emerald T.
Abstract:: The height of an algebraic number A is a measure of how arithmetically complicated A is. We say A is totally p-adic if the minimal polynomial of A splits completely over the field of p-adic numbers. In this paper, we investigate what can be said about the smallest nonzero height...

Mahler's order functions and algebraic approximation of p-adic numbers

Creator:: Dietel, Brian Christopher
Abstract:: If P is an integer polynomial denote the degree of P by ∂(P) and let H(P) be the maximum of the absolute value of the coefficients of P. Define Λ(P)=2[superscript ∂(P)]H(P) and for a fixed prime p let C[subscript p] denote the completion of the algebraic closure of the p-adic...

A numerical study of inertial flow features in moderate Reynolds number flow through packed beds of spheres

Creator:: Finn, Justin Richard
Abstract:: In this work, flow through synthetic arrangements of contacting spheres is studied as a model problem for porous media and packed bed type flows. Direct numerical simulations are performed for moderate pore Reynolds numbers in the range, 10 ≤ Re ≤ 600, where non-linear porescale flow features are known to...

Random number generation on handheld devices for cryptographic applications

Creator:: Montville, Adam W.
Abstract:: Random number generation is important in many fields today. It is particularly important in the field of cryptography when generating nonce values, cryptographic keys, and other data required in many cryptographic applications. The proliferation of small, handheld devices that are typically connected to large networks via a wireless connection requires...

Zeros of Certain Combinations of Products of Eisenstein Series

Creator:: Klangwang, Jetjaroen
Abstract:: In this dissertation, we begin by presenting the result of F. K. C. Rankin and Swinnerton-Dyer on the location of the zeros of the Eisenstein series for the full modular group in the standard fundamental domain. Their simple but beautiful argument shows that all zeros are located on the lower...

Seed protein and chromosome number analyses of experimental wheat x jointed goatgrass (Aegilops cylindrica Host) hybrid derivatives

Creator:: Crémieux, Lis︡ele
Abstract:: The occurrence of seed-producing wheat x jointed goatgrass hybrids in infested wheat fields suggests the possibility of gene flow between the two species. This study investigates 'Madsen' wheat x jointed goatgrass F₁ and reciprocal backcross derivatives produced in experimental field plantings. Electrophoresis of the high molecular weight (HMW) glutenin seed...

Students' Understanding of Complex Numbers in Middle-Division Physics

Creator:: Smith, Emily M.
Abstract:: Mathematical sophistication increases rapidly as students transition from lower- to upper-division physics courses. Complex algebra is one of the mathematical tools that is not introduced or used in lower-division physics courses but is pervasive throughout upper-division courses. In this dissertation, I study middle-division physics students' developing fluency with complex number...

An analysis of the effect of mathematics readiness education at the kindergarten level on the growth of conceptual ability of number as measured by Piaget's stages of the development of number

Creator:: Anderson, Doloris Gerkewicz
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to test two assumptions. They are that factors in a child's background correlate with the notion of conservation and that additional mathematical instruction will result in a higher level of maturity of the notion of conservation as well as increased achievement in mathematical skills....
