suggestion I don't know if this will work, but could you do something like this: Given spanning trees T and T', take an edge, x, in T that connects U to V that is not in T'. Since x was the bridge from U to V, to re-create a tree, we have to replace it. In T' there was also a U-V...

Into the Firepit... Although I don't want to interject... I hate to put 2 cents in here. Bush is not representative of the US population, realize that IF 100% of the population voted, the turn-out could have and probably would have been a lot different. The one thing republicans in general...

Abstract Algebra Take a set, give it a few properties, that's what most of abstract algebra is about. A ring is just one of the structures that is studied in abstract/modern algebra. Start with groups, then it will get you to identify what a ring is a little better. - Vanes.

The Moore Method and other things... Gale, This is coming from a student who has sat in your chair (although not as frusterated) and understands, but has a little more time under her belt. First of all, yes, I've been there with the take-home tests thing and it sucks. But you...

Along those same lines... I hope my problem solving prof. never sees this post. I got a worse version on my final for my problem solving class, I am restating the problem, although not as eloquently: There are 3 types of people living on an island, who look exactly the same, Yohns, Wishi...

Definition of Infinity But really infinity isn't an actual number, it's a concept. So it doesn't really belong as a point on the number line but as a direction on the number line. The Wolfram Website defines it like this: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Infinity.html The point at...

Reply to Original Question While undergraduates in just about any field do not know everything there is to know about any particular area, there is a long ways to go before you know enough to really publish Doctoral-level research (and that is the way it should be, otherwise everyone would get...

Discrete Math I'm just a math person here, but I'd think about looking into Discrete Mathematics and seeing what caught your eye there. A lot of times people can program but are either too busy with their own stuff to do it or can't see how to cut down the complexity like some computer/math...
