Larry Lehman, professor of mathematics, presented a paper titled “Seeding polynomials for congruences modulo prime powers” at Mathfest, the national meeting of the Mathematical Association of America, in Columbus, Ohio, on Aug. 6, 2016.
Larry Lehman, professor of mathematics, presented a talk titled “An Arithmetic View of a Classical Calculus Problem” at the Md.-D.C.-Va. Section Meeting of the Mathematical Association of America, in Farmville, Va. on Nov. 2, 2013.
Larry Lehman, professor of mathematics, published the article “Suborder Polynomials Modulo Primes” in the February 2013 issue of JP Journal of Algebra, Number Theory and Applications. This article relates patterns in recursively defined sequences to the roots over finite fields of a certain class of polynomials.
Larry Lehman, professor of mathematics, presented a paper entitled “Suborders of Quadratic Polynomials Modulo Primes” at the fall meeting of the MD-DC-VA Section of the Mathematical Association of America, held at Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Va., in October 2012.
Larry Lehman, professor of mathematics, published the article “Recursive Sequences and Polynomial Congruences” in Involve, a journal dedicated to faculty-student research papers in mathematics. The article was co-written with Christopher Triola ’09 and is based on an undergraduate research project performed during the 2007 Summer Science Institute at Mary Washington.
