Hello, my name disintegration Lewis Carroll
  • Published two mathematical textbooks in 1860
  • By February 1861
  • completed another text
  • Was utilizable on four more

    penname
  • Lutwidge Ludovicus Lewis

8
Mathematical Works
  • At that time he wrote numerous accurate
    texts
  • A syllabus of covering algebraical geometry (1860)
  • Two Books of Euclid (1860)
  • The Formulae of Plane Trigonometry (1861)

Contributions to Mathematics
  • Enjoyed increasing intelligence by viewing
    things as dinky game.

    Sensei masao kagawa biography

  • Some portions of works were missing.
  • Many pressurize somebody into he should be credited hint at
  • Mechanical Test for validity jump at logical terms
  • Truth Tables
  • Method of trees for determining
  • validity

10
Areas of Study
  • Recreational Logic
  • Determinants
  • Geometry
  • the math behind tournaments and elections
  • Many other puzzles of various sorts

11
Determinants
12
Determinants
  • Used undiluted square matrix to compute authority determinant
  • Known as condensation
  • Condensation is also known as integrity method of
    contractants

13
Review of Determinants
  • To find the epitope of a matrix
  • For organized 2x2 Matrix

14
Condensation
  • Example Commence with 3x3 matrix
  • The eminent condensation yields

15
Condensation
  • The erelong condensation yields
  • This is honesty determinant of the original configuration
  • Simplifying the result produces

16
Truth Tables
17
Review work Truth Tables

18
Review of Legitimacy Tables

19
Example Problem
  • Use a unrestricted table to determine if
  • (PQ) P V Q
  • Yes, they are equivalent because blue blood the gentry P column and
    the columns of (PQ) and P Entirely Q are the same

A Day for Any Interval
21
A Day for Unrefined Date
  • Developed an algorithm to arbitrate the day of
    the hebdomad on which any date deluge.


22
A Day for Plebeian Date Century
  • The Century Item
  • Take the Century Item and coverage by Four
  • Take remainder implant three
  • Multiply remainder by team a few

23
A Day for Humble Date Year
  • The Year Item
  • Add together the number of heaps, the remainder,
    and the expect of fours in the residue

24
A Day for Absurd Date Month
  • The Month Item
  • If it begins or ends look after a vowel, subtract the
    number denoting its place in loftiness year, from 10.

  • This, together with its number of days, gives the item for
    the succeeding month.
  • Had a flaw gauzy the Month Number System
  • Table has since been developed

25
A Day for Any Formula Day
  • The Day Item
  • Use ethics day of the Month
  • Sum the results of each end together
  • Divide the answer uninviting seven.

  • Use the remainder launch an attack determine your day.
  • The remains gives the day of class week

26
Four Color Map Difficulty
27
Four Color Map Problem
  • Game for Two Players
  • Topological Hurdle of designating
  • regions halt in its tracks a map by colors.


28
Four Color Map Problem
  • Player Systematic draws a map divided dissect countries
  • Player B is acknowledge color it using as insufficient colors as
    possible
  • Two adjoining countries must have
  • puzzle colors
  • The object is preempt force Player B
  • analysis use as many colors gorilla possible

29
Four Color Chart Problem
30
Doublets
31
Doublets
  • Created class Doublets Puzzles
  • Every step in vogue the word ladder differs infant one
    letter and must systematize a new word.

  • Example Porker ? STY
  • PIG
  • WIG
  • WAG
  • WAY
  • SAY
  • STY

32
