The 3n+1 Problem and The Terra’s Theorem
Gary Fowks MS398 Stetson University Wednesday, October 10, 2007 at 2:30 pm in room 205 Elizabeth Hall

My presentation will be a discussion of The Terra’s Theorem, which is a partial result of the Collatz “3n+1” problem. The proof of the theorem involves the use of six lemmas. During my talk I will discuss in detail the proof of 2-3 of these lemmas (as time permits), as well as the proof of the main theorem.
