    2005-Minna_Wedenberg-Pharmacokinetic modeling of gastric emptying
    The development of new drug substances is a complex, time consuming and expensive process. Reducing the time for drug development and avoiding late termination of candidate drugs are important challenges for the pharmaceutical industry.

    1-061-SingularPerturbation-TechniqueNarrative
    This paper introduces the basics of singular perturbation methods for solving ordinary differential equations. Interactive examples will show how the smallness of physical parameters can drastically change the nature of the solutions.

    2018-Meredith_Greer-Ella_Livesay-Mathematical Epidemiology Goes to College
    In this article we present models that were inspired by two real-life outbreaks at a small residential college campus: H1N1 influenza in 2009 and, surprisingly, mumps in 2016.

    1981-Geoffrey_Berresford-Differential Equations and Root Cellars
    This is a classic module from UMAP in which the heat equation in one dimension is fully developed by using the standard technique of measuring the heat flow in and out of a small element of mass and equating them at equilibrium.
