Texas-style Theorem SequencesTed Mahavier and Jimmy Ochoa are working jointly on this collection of Texan-style theorem sequences. This page and the downloadable draft were last updated Summer of 2001 and are slated to be updated again Summer of 2002. Our immediate goal is to continue to collect sequences and web publish these resources for the mathematical community to use freely. Our long-term goal is to produce a book or e-journal from these materials. The only thing holding up the e-journal is the need for a technical editor. There are currently twelve sequences typeset that may be viewed on-line. Areas include differential equations (graduate), geometry, foundations, matrix theory, number theory (fraction and place-value models for the reals), real analysis, topology, and trigonometry. Each sequence consists of a one or two semester course that has been tested in the classroom. Each includes an introduction describing the course as well as a commitment from the author to mentor any person desiring to utilize these materials in the classroom. We also hope to include one chapter that contains original sequences from Moore and Wall for both their historical and mathematical value. The draft page of the book lists all contributing authors, their e-mail addresses, and materials. We encourage you to contact either of us to ask questions, offer advice, or contribute materials. Feel free to contact the contributed sequence authors also, since each has agreed to act as a mentor to anyone wishing to try this method. If you have a set of notes that you wish to contribute, please read these flexible requirements for contributed notes and then contact us. Finally, we would like to thank the contributing authors, Wm. S. Mahavier, Wm. T. Mahavier, John W. Neuberger, James P. Ochoa, G. Edgar Parker, Phil C. Tonne, and Kenneth S. Whipple, as well as David McRae for his help typesetting Dr. Tonne's notes. |
