C. Publications in Progress

[1] Adam Hausknecht and Robert Kowalczyk, TEMATH - Tools for Exploring Mathematics Version 3.0, inpreparation. TEMATH has been upgraded so that now runs under Java 8. The update includes the use ofunicode text so that the source files are now platform independent, an update of the image input/outputcode and incorporates other features of Java 8 (see Figure 1 below). However, there is still more to do to

CURRICULUM VITAE 10

take full advantage of the all the features of Java 8. This version has more than 800 source files containingmore than 150,000 lines of code and comments. I am working on incorporating the new JavaFX classeswhich will enable TEMATH to display 3D plots of surfaces and curves. To help accomplish this, I’vewritten the JavaFX Surface Demo app (see Figure 2) above) which implements a number of algorithmsfor drawing surfaces and curves including the ability to plot a surface a region in the plane determined bytwo curves C1(t) ≤ C2(t) where a ≤ t ≤ b. This makes it possible to plot surfaces over circles and othernon-rectangular regions in the plane. I also want to provide a collection of geometric tools including

• A Dynamic Tangent Plane with a surface Normal,• A pair of Dynamic Tangent Vectors in the directions of the Principle Curvatures with perhaps a

pair of dynamic osculating curves that visually indicates whether a point is elliptical, elliptic-umbilic,hyperbolic, parabolic or flat-umbilic.

However, because of the limitations of the current features of JavaFX 3D, this may not be possible until astable version of Java 9 (or Java 10) is released.

[3] HTML5-CANVAS-WebSockets-WebWorkers-WebGL: Over the past several years, I have been experimentingwith the new features of HTML5 with the goal of writing browser-based HTML5-JavaScript scientificcomputation applications and/or front-ends for scientific computation applications running remotely. Theexperiments including writing small programs that allow me to investigate the capabilities of WebSockets(currently, the most efficient way for a browser app and server to communicate), web workers (used bybrowsers for parallel computation), the Canvas API (for 2D rendering), WebGL/WebGL- frameworksincluding Three.js, D3.js, OSG.js, Copperlict.js, and GlowScript (for 3D rendering). For example, toexperiment with the Canvas API, I wrote

Behind the scenes, Glowscript makes use of WebGL and other features of JavaScript and modern browsers.Moreover, unlike WebGL and standard JavaScript, Glowscript supports high-level 3D graphics and otherfeatures needed for writing math and physics simulations. I hope these experiments will lead to

• A book about how to use HTML5, GlowScript and JavaScript to write Mathematical Web apps. Thebook’s audience will be both STEM instructors and STEM majors.

• A new version of TEMATH that runs on desktops, tablets and browsers and is able to take advantageof high-performance GPU computing.

CURRICULUM VITAE 14

[4] Generators and Relations in Generic Matrix Rings: I am working on a problem concerning generic matrixrings and the nature of their trace centers. It is known that if An = k[Xn, Y n] where k is an algebraicallyclosed field of characteristic zero, and Xn , Yn are generic n-by-n matrices, then the trace center T (An) hastranscendence degree n2 + 1 over k .If n = 2, then

T (A2) = k(Tr(X2), T r(X22 ), T r(Y2), T r(Y 2

2 ), T r(X2Y2))

where Tr denotes the trace operator. It follows that T (A2) is a pure transcendental extension of k. I believeI can show that T (A3) is a quadratic extension of a certain proper subfield T ′(A3) ⊂ T (A3) where T ′(A3)is a pure transcendence extension of degree 10 over k; consequently, T (A3) isn’t a pure transcendentalextension. This means that identities exist among the elements of T (A3). For example

2Tr((X3Y3)2) = Tr(X3)

2Tr(Y3)2 − Tr(X2

3 )Tr(Y3)2 − Tr(X3)

2Tr(Y 23 ) + Tr(X2

3 )Tr(Y 23 )

− 4Tr(X3)Tr(Y3)Tr(X3Y3) + 4Tr(X3)Tr(X3Y23 )

+ 4Tr(Y3)Tr(X23Y3) + 2Tr2(X3Y3) − 4Tr(X2

3Y23 ).

Note that if Tr(X3) = Tr(Y3) = 0, this identity becomes

2Tr((X3Y3)2) = Tr(X2

3 )Tr(Y 23 ) + 2Tr2(X3Y3) − 4Tr(X2

3Y23 )

which makes its symmetry more apparent. I hope this will lead to a proof that T (An) isn’t a puretranscendental extension for n ≥ 3 by finding a suitable pure transcendental extension T ′(An) ⊂ T (An) ofdegree n2 + 1 over k such that T (A) is algebraic over T ′(An) and able to at least provide a sharp bound forT (A) ’s degree over T ′(An). For this research, I have been using the SageMath Computer Algebra System

to find relations among the Tr(XinY

jnXk

nYln) where 0 ≤ i, j, k, l ≤ n. Because the identities often involve

a large number of terms and are difficult to find even with the help of Sage, I verify a likely identity byevaluating it on a large number of pairs of random integer matrices.

SHORT BIOGRAPHY

Adam O. Hausknecht, who co-authored TEMATH with Prof. Kowalczyk, received his Ph.D. in algebra from U.C. Berkeley in 1975. In fall of 1982, he joined the Mathematics Department of the University of MassachusettsDartmouth where he helped form the Department of Computer and Information Sciences (CIS). He has taught awide range of mathematics and computer science courses including college algebra, calculus, combinatorics, abstractalgebra, Java, Pascal, C, data structures, compiler design, computer graphics, and theory of computation. Hisinterests include developing mathematics software for education, computer algebra systems, and noncommutativealgebra. He enjoys bicycling, hiking, photography, mysteries, baking, and listening to the blues (but not all at thesame time). In fall of 2005, he resigned his joint-appointment with CIS and resumed a full-time appointment in theDepartment of Mathematics where he focuses on developing mathematics software for education and scientificprogramming, and maintains the department’s computer classroom.
