    3-034-CarSuspension-ModelingScenario
    We examine the spring-mass-dashpot that is part of a car suspension, how the ride is related to parameter values, and the effect of changing the angle of installation. We model a ``quarter car'', meaning a single wheel.

    5-005-StiffDifferentialEquations-TechniqueNarrative
    This material introduces the topic of ``stiffness'' for a system of ordinary differential equations (ODE's), through a series of examples. Stiffness is a property that a system of ODE's may posses that make it difficult to solve numerically.

    1-019-RocksInTheHead-Modeling Scenario
    We describe an experiment with data on the perception of the individual mass of a collection of rocks in comparison to a 100 g brass mass. Students use the logistic differential equation as a reasonable model and estimate parameters.
