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.

1-015-DimensionlessVariables-TechniqueNarrative
This material introduces the idea of ``rescaling'' for ordinary differential equations (ODE's) by the use of dimensionless variables. In practice this is an extremely common and useful prelude to the analysis and solution of ODE's.
