    9-001-SkinBurnModelNumericalMethods-TechniqueNarrative
    The heat equation is an important partial differential equation (PDE) which describes the distribution of heat in a given region over time. Numerical methods play an important role in solving these.

    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.

    This project concerns using Newton's Law of Cooling to model the heating of a house. In particular, if one is going away for awhile, is it more economical to leave a house at a desired temperature or reheat it upon return?

    2016-Langtangen-Pedersen - Scaling of Differential Equations
    Nowadays, the greatest practical benefit of scaling is related to running numerical simulations, since scaling greatly simplifies the choice of values for the input data and makes the simulations results more widely applicable.

    We point out that the title is not Solving Differential Equations; we derive them, discuss them, review calculus background for them, apply them, sketch and compute them, and also solve them and interpret the solutions.
