    10-001-TilingHallway-ModelingScenario
    Students investigate difference equations through tiling hallways. They observe patterns in the tiling which lead to a difference equation. Solutions will be calculated by iteration. and the shift operator.

    5-090-SolidParticleErosion-ModelingScenario
    By applying Newton's second law, and making a collection of reasonable assumptions, students will derive a system of differential equations that model the path of a rigid particle as it gouges material from a more ductile surface.

    1-037-CommonColdSpread-ModelingScenario
    This modeling scenario guides students to simulate and investigate the spread of the common cold in a residence hall. An example floor plan is given, but the reader is encouraged to use a more relevant example.

    9-014-TurkeyCook-ModelingScenario
    The goal of this project is to investigate several models for the cooking time for a turkey based on weight, test these models with data obtained from heating curves for turkeys of various weights, and develop a new model to fit this data.

    1-027-StochasticProcesses-ModelingScenario
    We build the infinite set of first order differential equations for modeling a stochastic process, the so-called birth and death equations. We will only need to use integrating factor solution strategy or DSolve in Mathematica for success.
