Dynamic Geometry Sketch of the Orthocenter Triangle Center
Earlier in the year I went through some of my files from my undergraduate mathematics career. Among the things I found were dynamic geometry files created using the interactive geometry software Cinderella. I created constructions of about 26 different triangle centers based on triangle centers found in Clark Kimberling’s Encyclopedia of Triangle Centers. The goal [...]
Favourite Math Theorems: The Fundamental Theorem of Galois Theory
I spent many years as a full-time student of mathematics. One of my favourite theorems from my days as an undergraduate was the following from the field of abstract algebra: The Fundamental Theorem of Galois Theory If is a finite separable normal field extension of degree with Galois group . Then there is a bijection [...]

(Yes… I was that much of a math geek ) I stopped working on this collection after completing my undergraduate studies in mathematics. Recently, while combing through my archives, I came across the manuscript for the math joke [...]
