Lyon College Associate Professor of Mathematics Dr. Jeremy Chapman and alumnus Benjamin Norton, ‘22, were recently published in Alpha Chi’s Journal of Undergraduate Scholarship.
The article is seven pages long, packed full of complex formulas, proofs, and references. Their article proving that four non co-planar points determine a unique sphere and finding an explicit formula for the center of a sphere can be found in Vol. 7, Issue 2, of the journal. Chapman said, “The significance of our research is that spheres in three-dimensional vector spaces over finite fields are uniquely determined by four non co-planar points, just as they are in the Euclidean setting.”
