    3-011-EulerBallThrowing-ModelingScenario
    If a tennis ball is thrown through the air it will hit the ground due to gravity. Using Euler's method, write a short script (Python, Matlab, R, etc.) to find the trajectory of the ball which will maximize the distance the ball lands from the...

    3-050-CometOrbitalMechanics-ModelingScenario
    The broad goal of this activity is to use a basic numerical method to approximate the solution of an initial value problem. In this particular case, we will use Euler's method to help model the trajectory of a comet as it orbits the sun.

    6-002-EulerCromerPendulum-ModelingScenario
    This activity introduces students to the concept of numerical stability. While modeling a simple pendulum, students compare performance of the semi-implicit Euler-Cromer method with Euler's method and the higher-order Improved Euleror algorithm.

    9-001-SkinBurnModelNumericalMethods-TechniqueNarrative
    The heat equation is an important partial differential equation (PDE) which describes the distribution of heat in a given region over time. Numerical methods play an important role in solving these.

    2003-Givens-Bonfima-Direct observation of normal modes in coupled oscillators
    We propose a simple and inexpensive method to directly observe each normal mode of a system of coupled oscillators, as well as to measure its corresponding frequency, without performing Fourier analysis or using expensive apparatus.

    2018-Kovacs-Insperger-Retarded neutral and advanced differential equation models for balancing using an accelerometer
    It is shown that slight modeling differences lead to significant qualitative change in the behavior of the system, which is demonstrated by means of the stability diagrams for the different models.
