| My Math Page
     Welcome to my Math page ! 
		    Here I shall try to present the 
		material and knowledge that I have accumulated over the years. Obviously 
		I will not be able to present everything right away so this page will, 
		most likely, grow over time by being updated with new and old material. 
		So please check often in order to see new updates. 
		    I tried gathering my old math 
		notes and organize them into something relatively coherent, a lot of 
		notes turned out to be missing and I only have them in paper format. So 
		until the time I scan them, I shall post here whatever I currently have 
		in electronic version. 
 
		    Haruki's Lemma (continued)
		    After a long period of trials and 
		tribulations my article on Hiroshi Haruki's Lemma has finally seen the 
		light of day. Despite an erroneous negative review by one of the 
		referees, I managed to convince the journal editors 
		that it was worth publishing it. In particular I'd like to thank Forum 
		Geometricorum's Editor-in-Chief, Paul Yiu, for his helpful comments, 
		suggestions and additions that helped to improve the article. 
		    Well, without further adieu, I 
		present you the fruits of my labour: "Haruki's 
		Lemma and a Related Locus Problem". 
		    If you'd like to get a general 
		idea of what the Haruki's Lemma is all about head over to
		Haruki's Lemma page.

     An article about semigroups    Here is my earliest article that my colleague 
		Sihetij Ihor and I wrote when we just began studying at the Uzhgorod 
		State University. The article stemmed from the exploration of the 
		situation of exchanging two quantors in the definition of the group. The 
		results were unexpected to say the least. I plan to eventually modernize and translate this article, 
		the original is in Ukrainian, in order to make it more accessible to the 
		public.
     You can download the original Ukrainian article 
		here:
		
		"On some semigroups that are the union of the groups"

		    A Funny Story - "The Opera"
		    Working at the university or 
		institute you are bound to work with students and over time some funny 
		situations will happen. I am going to tell you one such story. Even 
		though it may not be entirely related to math, it is related to the 
		thought process and problem solving. 
		   Read about
		
		"The Opera" story here.

		    Haruki's Lemma
		    My recent math adventure was into 
		the world of Euclidean Geometry or, to be more precise, investigating 
		the Hiroshi Haruki's Lemma. I have prepared an article with my results 
		that should be published over at 
		Forum Geometricorum. I shall post more information here once I hear 
		a definitive word from the FG staff as to the fate of my article.

     Old Stuff    You can check out my Master's 
		thesis titled "On a sum of cubes of degrees of irreducible 
		complex characters", over at the
		
		National Library of Canada. This thesis was supervised by
		
		John D. Dixon.     Also, 
		here is my old project from the
		
		Analytic Number Theory Course at
		
		Carleton University. You can download this project by clicking
		
		"Perfect Numbers and Abundancy Ratio".
 I would like to say that this project is more of a 
		descriptive nature - no new results are proved, but a lot of the current 
		results are compiled to provide a decent description of the area of 
		study.
