    2013-Herald-EtAl-Simple Climate Models to Illustrate How Bifurcations Can Alter Equilibria and Stability
    While college level science classes now frequently include exposure to climate change issues, not all science majors, math majors and future math K-12 teachers are likely to see climate issues in the course of their studies.

    1-114-EarthClimate-ModelingScenario
    In this modeling scenario, we investigate the Earth's climate using a zero-dimensional energy balance model. Energy balance models are climate models that try to predict the average surface temperature of the Earth.

    2015-Carl_Lutzer-Using Expected Value to Introduce the Laplace Transform
    We propose an introduction to the Laplace transform in which Riemann sums are used to approximate the expected net change in a function, assuming that it quantifies a process that can terminate at random.

    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.

    1-009-Bifurcation-TechniqueNarrative
    We lead students to investigate first-order differential equations that contain unknown parameters. Students discover what happens to the qualitative behavior of solutions to these equations as these parameters vary.

    1-019-RocksInTheHead-Modeling Scenario
    We describe an experiment with data on the perception of the individual mass of a collection of rocks in comparison to a 100 g brass mass. Students use the logistic differential equation as a reasonable model and estimate parameters.

    1-088-RoomTemperature-ModelingScenario
    Students will analyze temperature variations in a room using Newton's Cooling Law. In this model, the only influence on the indoor temperature is the (oscillating) outdoor temperature (as we assume the heating/cooling system is broken).

    2018-Kovacs-Insperger-Retarded neutral and advanced differential equation models for balancing using an accelerometer
    It is shown that slight modeling differences lead to significant qualitative change in the behavior of the system, which is demonstrated by means of the stability diagrams for the different models.
