    6-075-LorenzSystemSimulation-ModelingScenario
    The Lorenz system is examined by students as a simple model of chaotic behavior or strange attractor. MATLAB code is created to find the numerical solutions of the Lorenz’ system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using various parameters.

    7-020-ThermometerInVaryingTempStream-ModelingScenario
    We present a first order differential equation model for the temperature of a mercury thermometer which is sitting in a stream of water whose temperature oscillates. We suggest a solving strategy which uses Laplace Transforms.
