Removing the fundamentals of a traditional still-life painting through cutting, pushing, and manipulating sections gives the viewer a sense of unease. Although the whole image is in view, the mind cannot compensate for the altered reality. This image could be easily made on a computer, yet each brush stroke holds a sense of measurable time. Exploring this juxtaposition of digital and analog is meant to question the evolution of art and how technology alters our perception of what we consider beautiful.

The discrete distributions describe the probabilities of outcomes in a sample space for an experiment with a countable set of outcomes. The outcomes of the experiment may occur with or without replacement. Here we will investigate a case where we operate with a countable set comprised of outcomes both with and without replacement. In this paper, we discover the Binoodial distributions.

A coalition of liberal and radical forces led by Venustiano Carranza had successfully overthrown the dictator Victoriano Huerta, but soon a new conflict erupted. With Huerta gone and Carranza's presidency becoming increasingly conservative, former populist allies Emiliano Zapata and Pancho Villa revolted against the new government. As a means of forging legitimizing his administration, President Carranza called for a new constitution- the delegates to the drafting convention, however, found themselves divided on what rights and guarantees the document would include. Ultimately, a group of delegates aligned with Alvaro Obregon won out, defeating Carranza’s loyalists and enforcing their constitutional vision. Despite the power struggle that took place during the convention, and the significance that it bears English language historiography is relatively quiet regarding the events that took place there. This project will analyze the 1916-1917 constitutional convention in context by examining the Constitution of 1917 itself, as well as several other sources. The convention illuminated the divisions between the liberals and the popular forces within the Mexican Revolution, and Carranza’s failure to counter Obregon’s faction allowed them to crystallize the conflict as a fight for land reform, labor rights, and secularism.

The method involves an iterated function system where each function is an affine transformation. After building an intuition for the functions used to generate the Barnsley fern, we develop an iterated function system to model a western sword fern. Volume 12 Supported by Ben Coté --
