    3-002-ModelsMotivatingSecondOrder-ModelingScenario
    Ordinary differential equations involve second derivatives and second derivatives appear in many contexts, chief among them are the study of forces and resulting motion. This is principally because of Newton's Second Law of Motion.

    2009-Reid-King-Pendulum Motion and Differential Equations
    This article presents a relatively simple, real-world example that instructors can use in the classroom to let students explore the effect of simplifying assumptions on a model’s ability to reflect real-world behavior.

    5-040-TunedMassDamper-Part-I-Modeling Scenario
    We offer an opportunity to build mathematical models to mitigate dangerous displacements in structures using structural improvements called Tuned Mass Dampers. We model the motion of the original structure as a spring-mass-dashpot system.
