    • Homological algebra and problems in combinatorics and geometry 
      Tohaneanu, Stefan Ovidiu (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
      This dissertation uses methods from homological algebra and computational commutative algebra to study four problems. We use Hilbert function computations and classical homology theory and combinatorics to answer questions ...
    • Piecewise polynomial functions on a planar region: boundary constraints and polyhedral subdivisions 
      McDonald, Terry Lynn (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
      Splines are piecewise polynomial functions of a given order of smoothness r on a triangulated region (or polyhedrally subdivided region) of Rd. The set of splines of degree at most k forms a vector space Crk() Moreover, a ...
    • The Calculus of Finite Differences 
      Hinrichs, Lisa Ninette (1978)
      Mathematicians use divided difference equations to solve problems which have only a discrete set of possible values. This research is concerned with the application of difference equations to curve fitting data by means ...
