This article studies the systems of equations appearing in the Susa Mathematical Texts (\textbf{SMT}) and the different approaches used by the Susa scribes to solve them.
In this article, we study some of quadratic equations and their solutions found in the Susa Mathematical Texts (\textbf{SMT}). We show that the Susa scribes used this group of equations in different problems and took a standard approach,…
This article studies three-dimensional objects and their volumes in Elamite mathematics, particularly those found in the Susa Mathematical Tablet No.\,14 (\textbf{SMT No.\,14}). In our discussion, we identify some basic solids whose volumes…
This article studies the application of the Pythagorean theorem in the Susa Mathematical Texts (\textbf{SMT}) and we discuss those texts whose problems and related calculations demonstrate its use. Among these texts, \textbf{SMT No.\,1}…
In this article, we study a particular group of plane figures whose constants are listed in the Susa Mathematical Tablet No.\,3 (\textbf{SMT No.\,3}). We explain possible ways to define these figures and seek to demonstrate that the Susa…
In this article, we study similarity of triangles in the Susa Mathematical Texts (\textbf{SMT}). We also suggest that the Susa scribes were aware of intercept theory because they used this theorem in solving a complicated system of…
In this article, we study the inscription on the reverse of Susa Mathematical Text No.\,2, a clay tablet held in the collection of the Louvre Museum and thought to date from between 1894--1595 BC. We focus on the formula given in this text…
In the present paper I shall reveal two circular figures hidden behind the Susa mathematical text no.3,lines 5 and 6 with my own analysis of the text.
This note summarizes the talk by the author at the workshop "Geometry and Computer Science" held in Pescara in February 2017. We present how SageMath can help in research in Complex and Differential Geometry, with two simple applications,…
The bisection of trapezoids by transversal lines has many examples in Babylonian mathematics. In this article, we study a similar problem in Elamite mathematics, inscribed on a clay tablet held in the collection of the Louvre Museum and…
We study the topological complexity, in the sense of Smale, of three enumerative problems in algebraic geometry: finding the 27 lines on cubic surfaces, the 28 bitangents and the 24 inflection points on quartic curves. In particular, we…
In this article, we list a few hypergeometric supercongruence conjectures based on two evaluation formulas of Whipple and numeric data computed using Magma and Sagemath.
We describe a large-scale computational experiment to study structure in the numbers of real solutions to osculating instances of Schubert problems. This investigation uncovered Schubert problems whose computed numbers of real solutions…
We investigate a mathematical theory for the erosion of sediment which begins with the study of a non-linear, parabolic, weighted 4-Laplace equation on a rectangular domain corresponding to a base segment of an extended landscape. Imposing…
Issues for transport facilities on the lunar surface related to science, engineering, architecture, and human-factors are discussed. Logistic decisions made in the next decade may be crucial to financial success. In addition to outlining…
Theory Building has been largely ignored in Mathematics Education, especially at the Middle and High School Levels. This thesis focuses on Assumption Digging, a type of Theory Building similar to what Hilbert undertook in his Grundlagen…
Electronic structure calculations have been instrumental in providing many important insights into a range of physical and chemical properties of various molecular and solid-state systems. Their importance to various fields, including…
We study a 2-parameter family of enumerative problems over the reals. Over the complex field, these problems can be solved by Schubert calculus. In the real case the number of solutions can be different on the distinct connected components…
In this paper we consider the Muskat problem describing the motion of two unbounded immiscible fluid layers with equal viscosities in vertical or horizontal two-dimensional geometries. We first prove that the mathematical model can be…
We survey various U_A(1) problems and attempt to resolve the two puzzles related to the eta mesons that have experimental verification. Specifically, we first explore the Goldstone structure of the eta and eta' mesons in the context of…
