    1-079-HomeHeating-ModelingScenario
    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?

    9-014-TurkeyCook-ModelingScenario
    The goal of this project is to investigate several models for the cooking time for a turkey based on weight, test these models with data obtained from heating curves for turkeys of various weights, and develop a new model to fit this data.

    2014-Michael_Monagan-The Mortgage Payment Problem Approximating a Discrete Process with a Differential Equation
    In this article and a subsequent article I will give two non-standard examples that I've found helpful. The one presented here is a first order linear system. Second order systems and non-linear systems.

    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).

    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.
