David Ekrut of Cabot, a senior mathematics major at UCA, has been awarded a Student Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) by the Arkansas Department of Higher Education. The grant is $2,650, and UCA 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 UCA?s Mathematics Department will serve as faculty mentor for the research.
