    9-020-HeatDiffusion-ModelingScenario
    This project guides students through experimental, analytical, and numerical techniques for understanding the heat (diffusion) equation with nonhomogeneous boundary conditions. In particular, students collect data and model a physical scenario.

    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.

    5-014-TwoSpringMass-ModelingScenario
    We ask students to build a Free Body Diagram for a vertical two mass situation in which the two masses are held fixed at the tip and at the bottom. The mass holds the springs together at the join of the two springs in between.

    2007-Choisy-Guégan-Rohani-Mathematical Modeling of Infectious Diseases Dynamics
    After presenting general notions of mathematical modeling (Section 22.2) and the nature of epidemiological data available to the modeler (Section 22.3), we detail the very basic SIR epidemiological model (Section 22.5).

    3-045-RampBounce-ModelingScenario
    Students build two projectile motion models (1) a one-dimensional model for a vertically falling ball from a fixed distance until it hits an inclined ramp and (2) a two-dimensional projectile motion model of the ball bouncing off the ramp.
