Dr. Lisa Davis Dept. of Mathematical Sciences Describe your lab Mathematics is "the queen of sciences.“ - Gauss Mathematics is both a language and a tool that scientists use to better understand and “know” our world. - Lisa Davis

Describe the kinds of analysis you perform What works well? – Software, Numerical Approximation Techniques DGFEM: Central Flux DGFEM: Upwinding Flux Finally, can we relate this information back to our original problem? Do the results of the numerical experiments make sense? Do they agree with what we believe should happen mathematically and/or physically?
What are some of the broader impacts of your research? “As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality” - Einstein Mathematics is a fundamental tool that scientists use to understand as well as to communicate the reality of our world. It provides a building block for analysis, design and optimization of many physical systems. – Lisa Davis Big scientific contributions are made by those who speak many languages – Math, Engineering, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Economics, Ecology, etc.

Describe the kinds of analysis you perform [W]hy do many American Indians insist on appropriating—and maintaining—a “trust relationship” with the United States? Situated historically and pragmatically, this turns out to be a question of astonishing gravity.13 13“Pragmatically” is meant here in the dialectical sense of interpreting the relationship, and the maintenance of it, in light of its bearing on conduct, whether that conduct be in the day-to-day praxis of land ownership, the avenues of resistance, or the development of new policies. New policies, of course, affect and effect new perceptions and enactments of the trust relationship, which, in turn, may serve to generate new policy, and so on and so forth (Ruppel 2008: 40, 182).
