world around<br \/>\nus, be it in art, architecture, nature, or geometry. Far fewer of us, however, have been exposed to how symmetries can be used to help solve problems in mathematics. Last summer, two SOU mathematics students, Will Helman and Daniel Sinderson, embarked on an undergraduate research project through SOU\u2019s Summer Research Experience program to do just that. However, instead of studying the symmetries of triangles or squares (or any other shape for that matter), their project focused on studying the symmetries of an important class of equations in math and physics called <em>differential equations<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lrtita6q-f9f224d7ea91aae3215bdc0a419c29b6\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-lrtita6q-f9f224d7ea91aae3215bdc0a419c29b6 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lrtita6q-f9f224d7ea91aae3215bdc0a419c29b6 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Differential equations allow us to relate how quantities change with respect to one or more variables. Nearly all important physical phenomena, from the humble falling apple to the supermassive black holes of general relativity, are modeled with differential equations. Naturally then, mathematicians and physicists alike have devoted an immense amount of effort to their analysis. Despite these efforts, very little is actually known about solving differential equations. In fact, for most differential equations, we have no standard techniques for finding solutions, even if we can prove solutions exist.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lrtitknm-b339d2066c807f0522e4c1966487a2a0\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-lrtitknm-b339d2066c807f0522e4c1966487a2a0 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lrtitknm-b339d2066c807f0522e4c1966487a2a0 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>In the late 1800s, the Norwegian mathematician Sophus Lie discovered that if a differential equation has enough symmetry (transformations which leave the equation unchanged), then those symmetries can be exploited to rewrite the equation in a simpler form, possibly leading to its solution.

Of course, math research is nothing like math class. While investigating your problem, it\u2019s easy to become lost in associated questions you will invariably meet along the way. In (especially lower division) math classes, if a question occurs to you, it\u2019s likely that it has come to many other students before you at the prompt of such well-explored material. When you dive into higher-level topics, chances are that no one has ever wondered what you are wondering. It can be daunting. During Dr. Ashley\u2019s crash course, very natural questions occurred to Daniel and me, and increasingly they were met with \u201cno one knows,\u201d \u201cthat\u2019s still an open question,\u201d or a shrug and chuckle. It was extremely exciting. When it came time to tackle the research problem, the feeling that we were on untrodden grounds remained. Ultimately, one of those questions proved to be the biggest takeaway from the project, and it has big implications.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>We got a taste of theoretical math research, and used specialized computational techniques for our problem. We learned a little differential geometry and Lie theory to do it.

At the start, I expected it would largely be a pen and paper project involving some proofs. Instead, it was a massive computational project involving a computer algebra system and the scariest looking equations I\u2019ve yet seen.<\/p>\n<p>We started learning background material for the project in late June. The crash course Dr. Ashley took us through was difficult but well-taught, and it covered both the computer algebra system we used (navigation, programming, and the documentation of some specialized modules we used) and the actual mathematics behind the project including methods for solving problems that, beforehand, would\u2019ve been literally impossible for me to solve. These were the hard skills learned in the project.<\/p>\n<p>The soft skills are what really stand out to me though. It turns out math research is hard. And much different than math classes. I\u2019m 35. I\u2019ve been thrown (or jumped) into at least half-a-dozen projects I\u2019m barely prepared for, but this was the first time I\u2019ve truly doubted if I was up to the task and had to push through. Easily 95% of my working time was spent stuck and churning through failed attempts at a solution. To go through that experience well-supported and then come out the other side with solutions in hand (and a fascinating direction for future research thanks to Will!) was a very rewarding experience. It\u2019s one that I honestly didn\u2019t expect to be available to me at a small regional university like SOU. I\u2019d do it again and would recommend the experience to other students in the department in a heartbeat.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"avia-testimonial-meta\"><div class=\"avia-testimonial-arrow-wrap\"><div class=\"avia-arrow\"><\/div><\/div><div class='avia-testimonial-meta-mini'  itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" ><strong  class='avia-testimonial-name'  itemprop=\"name\" >Daniel Sinderson<\/strong><span  class='avia-testimonial-subtitle '  itemprop=\"jobTitle\" >SOU Senior Math Major<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lrtrdaai-c7aa9e503a36688daf716aa79a2fe736\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-lrtrdaai-c7aa9e503a36688daf716aa79a2fe736 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lrtrdaai-c7aa9e503a36688daf716aa79a2fe736 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The generous support of donors was essential to the success of the Summer Research Experience.
