    2018-Chris McCarthy-Newtons Law of Cooling
    You have hot water (initial temperature ) in a container, say a cup or glass. The temperature in the room is cooler, say a constant degrees Celsius. Come up with a differential equation that models the water's temperature.

    2014-Brun-EtAl-An introduction to the mechanics of the lasso
    Here, we study the mechanics of the simplest rope trick, the Flat Loop, in which the rope is driven by the steady circular motion of the roper’s hand in a horizontal plane.

    2011-Richard_Fitzpatrick-Newtonian_Dynamics
    This 300 page text is packed with motivational physics. Indeed, Professor Fitzpatrick brings us to the origins of why differential equations are the dominant tools of mathematics in the study of motion.

    1975-David_Burghes-Population dynamics An introduction to differential equations
    In this paper a number of population models, which lead to differential equations, are derived. First-order variables separable equations are formulated from the Malthusian population model and its extension to include crowding effects.

    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.
