    We present two applications of systems of ordinary differential equations concerning excitation of a structure through resonance and (1) peak frequency responses with stabilization of the structure by means of a (2) Tuned Mass Damper (TMD).

    1990-Winkel_Brian-First-year_calculus_students_as_in-class_consultants
    We demonstrate how we use traditional text book calculus problems to involve first year calculus students as consultants. Students are asked to solve a “real world” problem after interviewing a “guest” client –a printer.

    1-001-MM-DeathAndImmigration-ModelingScenario
    We conduct a simulation of death and immigration, using a small set of "individuals", m&m candies or any two sided object (coin, chips), in which upon tossing a set of individuals we cause some to die and others then to immigrate. Modeling ensues!

    2009-Brian_Winkel-Modelling_Growth_Of_an_OilSlick
    An oil-slick spreads at sea. From time to time, but irregularly, a helicopter is dispatched. On each trip, it arrives over the slick, the pilot takes a picture, waits 10 minutes, takes another, and heads home. Model this.
