American Journal of Mathematics, Vol. 101, No. 4 (Aug., 1979), pp. 743-759 (17 pages) The elementary functions of a complex variable z are those functions built up from the rational functions of z by ...

An equation of the form \(y = mx + c\) where \(m\) and \(c\) are numbers, gives a straight line when values of \(x\) and corresponding values of \(y\) are plotted on a grid. A straight line is a ...

Mathematical Background: We expect that the student is comfortable with basic mathematics at the level of a U.S. first-year college STEM student. This includes basic notions such as sets and functions ...

Amid the chaos of revolutionary France, one man’s mathematical obsession gave way to a calculation that now underpins much of ...

Exponential and logarithmic functions are typically presented as formulas with which students learn to associate the rules for exponents/logarithms, a particular algebraic form, and routine algorithms ...

I am a professor in mathematics at Simon Fraser University. My main research interests lie in analytic and enumerative combinatorics. I strive to find algorithmic, and systematic solutions to problems ...
