  • HOMECOMING 2010 We Are Also Excited to Have Dr
    FALL 2010 NEWSLETTER A Message from the Chair Greetings, math alums, from the Department of Mathematics! Since our last newsletter was released in January 2010, there have been significant changes at Baylor. Judge Kenneth Winston Starr has been inaugurated as Baylor University’s 14th President and Dr. Elizabeth Davis was named Executive Vice President and Provost. All of us at Baylor are thrilled with these two appointments and, through the stability that these appointments bring, we are confident that Baylor will continue its push onwards and upwards to becoming one of the nation’s elite universities. On the departmental level, we have seen several important changes in the past few months. We’ve added Dr. Matthew Beauregard (University of Arizona), Gail Brooks (Baylor University, McLennan Community College), and Dr. Jonatan Lenells (University of Lund, Sweden) to our staff this fall and we are very pleased to welcome each of them into our mathematical family. HOMECOMING 2010 We are also excited to have Dr. Edward B. Burger, the 2010 Robert Foster Cherry Award winner for Great Teaching, with Homecoming this year is Saturday us this semester. Ed is the Lissack Professor for Social Responsibility and Personal Ethics at Williams College (MA) October 23. The Department of and is a multi-honored teacher of mathematics and an Mathematics will host a breakfast award-winning author of textbooks and videos. Besides from 9:30-11:30 that morning on the teaching two courses for us, Ed is heavily involved with first floor of Sid Rich. We would love several other projects across our campus.

Delman & Gregory Galperin “A Tale of Three Circles,” Mathematics Magazine, February 2003, pp.15-32. The article by Charles Delman and Gregory Galperin begins with an intriguing basic question about the sum of the angles of curvilinear triangles formed by the arcs of three circles in the plane. In the course of analyzing the problem, the authors carry us along a wave that takes us through examples, a theorem that explains it all, and an overview of three classical geometries. The authors consider three configurations of three intersecting circles in the plane: first, the case where the three circles intersect at a common point and no circles are tangent to each other; next, the case where the three circles have collinear centers; and finally, the case in which the three circles intersect as in a generic Venn diagram. Each of the three cases results in a different sum of the angles of a curvilinear triangle.
