ThesisWest, PhilipIf one imagines the Gaussian primes to be lily pads in the pond of complex numbers, could a frog hop from the origin to infinity with jumps of bounded size? If the frog was confined to the real number line, the answer is no. Good heuristic arguments e . . .

ThesisMorris-Rivera, MarcThe attributable risk is the fraction of outcomes in the population that would be reduced if the probability for a (higher probability) group were reduced to the probability for another (lower probability) group (Fleiss, et. al). We will use methods o . . .

ThesisYi, CoryAn unproven claim is that all trees may be gracefully labeled. However there are some special classes of trees that are proven to have graceful labelings. A path is the simplest form of a tree, and it has been proven that all paths can be gracefully l . . .
