    1-190-IntroClass-ModelingScenario
    Students go through development of ideas in mathematical modeling with differential equations. They encounter fundamental ideas of unlimited population growth, limited population growth and a predator prey system.

    3-020-ChordPathTime-ModelingScenario
    Using Newton's Second Law of motion we can determine the time it takes for a mass to slide along a chord of a vertical circle from high point to any point along the circle. Initially, the result is nonintuitive and challenging to understand.

    6-068-VisualizingPredator-PreyCycles
    In this modeling scenario, we propose a gentle introduction to limit cycles using nullcline analysis and a spreadsheet graphical approach via the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. We will be offering three predator-prey models, each more complex...
