    1-135-FishHarvesting-ModelingScenario
    This short activity will walk students through a guided list of questions to help them to understand how the stability of equilibrium changes with changes in a model parameter, in this case the rate of harvesting fish.

    2008-Chernyshov-EtAl-The Problem of Modelling of Economic Dynamics in Differential Form
    The authors have tried to analyze procedures of the construction of differential equations that are employed for modeling of macroeconomic processes. The results prove to be rather unexpected.

    2018-Arden_Baxter-Modeling Public Opinion
    In this paper, we adapt the epidemiological models to model the dynamics of public opinion. Public opinion is any view prevalent among the general public. Our model considers any topic or issue in which the public has two decisive and opposing...

    2011-Nakul-Chitnis-Introduction to Mathematical Epidemiology - Deterministic Compartmental Model
    Deterministic compartmental models form the simplest models in the mathematical study of infectious disease dynamics. They assume that a population is homogenous (all people are the same) and the only distinction is in their disease state.

    2001-Tsoularis-Analysis of logistic growth models
    variety of growth curves have been developed to model both unpredated, intraspecific population dynamics and more general biological growth. We further review and compare several such models.

    1972-Suresh_Sethi-Optimal Control of the Vidale-Wolfe Advertising Model
    This paper considers an optimal-control problem for the dynamics of the Vidale-Wolfe advertising model, the optimal control being the rate of advertising expenditure to achieve a terminal market share within specified limits.

    1-118-SolowEconomicGrowth-ModelingScenario
    Students construct and analyze the celebrated Solow-Swan model of economic growth theory. The project is divided into three sequential parts to teach students to understand, develop, and analyze a simple nonlinear model of economic dynamics.

    6-022-CannibalismPredatorPrey-ModelingScenario
    The Lotka-Volterra model tells us that the prey and predator exhibit a shifted cyclic behavior over time. In this module, we look at modifying this prey-predator model to consider the case when there is cannibalism in the predator species.

    2006-Cooke-Elderkin-Huang-Predator-Prey interactions with delays due to juvenile maturation
    This paper focuses on predator-prey models with juvenile/mature class structure for each of the predator and prey populations in turn, further classified by whether juvenile or mature individuals are active with respect to the predation process.
