    1975-DH_Griffel-Teaching the formation and solution of differential equations
    This paper raises many interesting questions about teaching the formation (and solution) of differential equations, i.e. modeling with differential equations.

    2000-Idels-Wang-Harvesting Fisheries Management Strategies With Modified Effort Function
    This study concludes that a control parameter beta (the magnitude of the effect of the fish population size on the fishing effort function E), changes not only the rate at which the population goes to equilibrium, but also the equilibrium values.

    2017-CW_Groetsch-Hammer and Feather - Some Calculus of Mass and Fall Time
    Does a heavy object fall faster than a lighter one? In 1971 NASA astronaut Dave Scott, Commander of the Apollo 15 lunar mission, used a hammer and a falcon feather on the surface of the moon to give a dramatic illustration that this is not so.
