ÿÈÕ´óÈüÍøÕ¾ senior wins SURF grant for math research

David Ekrut of Cabot, a senior mathematics major at ÿÈÕ´óÈüÍøÕ¾, has been awarded a Student Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) by the Arkansas Department of Higher Education. The grant is $2,650, and ÿÈÕ´óÈüÍøÕ¾ will add matching funds in the amount of $1,250.

David’s research project, “Generalized compatibiity for two dimensional nonlinear diffusion equations,” is a generalization of current symmetry methods most often used to derive exact solutions of nonlinear differential equations. Danny Arrigo of the ÿÈÕ´óÈüÍøÕ¾?s Mathematics Department will serve as faculty mentor for the research.
