    3-100-Ripcord-Toys-ModelingScenario
    This modeling scenario examines the motion of a ripcord-powered toy with the goal of using real data to estimate parameters in a first-order model of the velocity of the toy. Students may conduct experiments or use videos to collect data.

    2014-Michael_Monagan-The Mortgage Payment Problem Approximating a Discrete Process with a Differential Equation
    In this article and a subsequent article I will give two non-standard examples that I've found helpful. The one presented here is a first order linear system. Second order systems and non-linear systems.

    2017-Guy-Bart_Stan-Modelling in Biology
    This is a very rich set of notes, rich in examples and ideas for modeling. In almost all cases after a model is introduced in real context there is attention to stability analysis.
