    2002-Chai-Optimal initial angle to fire a projectile
    Assume a projectile is fired without air resistance and lands at a height y above its initial vertical position. What is the optimal initial angle of firing to maximize the horizontal distance traveled by the projectile?”

    1990-Winkel_Brian-First-year_calculus_students_as_in-class_consultants
    We demonstrate how we use traditional text book calculus problems to involve first year calculus students as consultants. Students are asked to solve a “real world” problem after interviewing a “guest” client –a printer.

    1-047a-CondensationOptimization-ModelingScenario
    We seek to optimize a condensation process which is modeled by a simulation using the random motion of 200 particles in a 50 by 50 square in which a particle bounces off the two vertical and top walls and condenses on the bottom wall.

    1-118-SolowEconomicGrowth-ModelingScenario
    Students construct and analyze the celebrated Solow-Swan model of economic growth theory. The project is divided into three sequential parts to teach students to understand, develop, and analyze a simple nonlinear model of economic dynamics.

    2010-Brian_Winkel-Parameter estimates in differential equation models for chemical kinetics
    We discuss the need for devoting time in differential equations courses to modelling and the completion of the modelling process with efforts to estimate the parameters in the models using data.
