APSU Faculty share recent plaudits

Austin Peay State UniversityClarksville, TN – Faculty and staff members at Austin Peay State University recently announced a number of publications, conferences and credentials as part of their professional and scholarly activities.

Dr. Larry Hoehn, professor emeritus in mathematics, learned recently that two manuscripts he co-authored were accepted for publication. “A 5-Circle Incidence Theorem” was accepted for the Mathematics Magazine published by the Mathematical Association of America.  “Zwei Kreistheoreme für affin–metrische Ebenen” was accepted for publication in German in the Mitteilungen der Mathematischen Gesellschaft publication.

The two manuscripts were co-authored with Chris Fisher of the University of Regina in Canada and Eberhard Schroeder of the University of Hamburg in Germany. The main result in each paper was a pentagonal concurrency theorem that Hoehn discovered in 2004, but was unable to prove at the time; however, Fisher and Schroeder, both prominent geometers, were able to assist. The two publications will be Hoehn’s 90th and 91st in mathematics.
