    9-012-PDEGuitarTuning-ModelingScenario
    We lead students through a derivation of a partial differential equation which models the motion of a string held at both ends, a case of the one-dimensional wave equation, and then play it on Mathematica.

    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?

    Using Newton's Second Law of motion we can determine the time it takes for a mass to slide along a chord of a vertical circle from high point to any point along the circle. Initially, the result is nonintuitive and challenging to understand.
