In support of efforts to foreground functions as central objects of study in algebra, this study provides evidence of how secondary students use trigonometric functions in contextual tasks. The author ...

Given a complex quasiprojective curve B and a nonisotrivial family ε of elliptic curves over B, the p-torsion ε[p] yields a monodromy representation ρε[p] : π₁(B) → GL₂(𝔽P ). We prove that if ρε[p] ≅ ...
