    2014-Robert_Terrell-Notes_on_Differential_Equations
    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.

    1-102C-CancerGrowth-ModelingScenario
    This module guides students in the use of differential equation models to predict cancer growth and study treatment outcomes. Several classical models for cancer growth are presented including exponential, power law, Bertalanffy, logistic, and...

    6-002-EulerCromerPendulum-ModelingScenario
    This activity introduces students to the concept of numerical stability. While modeling a simple pendulum, students compare performance of the semi-implicit Euler-Cromer method with Euler's method and the higher-order Improved Euleror algorithm.

    6-005-InsectColonySurvivalOpt-ModelingScenario
    We present a system of nonlinear differential equations to model the control of energy flow into producing workers or reproducers in an insect colony, using a set of given parameters and a number of different energy functions.

    3-090-OneSpringMass-ModelingScenario
    We lead students through building a mathematical model for a single mass (bob)-spring system that is hanging vertically. We also lead the students, using data that they collect together with their model to approximate the value of the spring...
