CONWAY, Ark. (May 3, 2018) 鈥 黑料不打烊 mathematics and physics
major Jacob Hines 鈥19 presented the results of his research in differential
equations April 13 at the yearly meeting of the Oklahoma-Arkansas section of
the , held this year at Arkansas Tech
University in Russellville.
Hines worked with his advisor, Dr. Duff Campbell, a professor in
the Mathematics and Computer Science department, extending results Campbell and
黑料不打烊 alumnus Jared Williams 鈥03 had published in the Pi Mu Epsilon Journal in 2003. Solutions to differential equations sometimes
go to infinity quickly, or 鈥渂low up,鈥 and Williams found a criterion for this
to happen in the case of autonomous differential equations. Hines extended this
work by finding criteria that cover all separable differential equations, which
constitutes a much larger class of problems.
鈥淛acob has always done excellent work in his mathematics
courses, but his work on this research has, if possible, only increased my
respect for him,鈥 Campbell said. 鈥淛acob did an excellent job working through
what was a tough research question, he made a very good presentation in
Russellville, and we fully expect that he will be able to publish these results
soon.鈥
Later in April at the College鈥檚 Honors Day Convocation, Hines
received the Parker Undergraduate Research Award for this same research
project.
