    2007-I-Liang_Chern-Mathematical Modeling and Differential Equations
    In this course, I will mainly focus on, but not limited to, two important classes of mathematical models by ordinary differential equations: • population dynamics in biology • dynamics in classical mechanics.

    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.

    2016-Langtangen-Pedersen - Scaling of Differential Equations
    Nowadays, the greatest practical benefit of scaling is related to running numerical simulations, since scaling greatly simplifies the choice of values for the input data and makes the simulations results more widely applicable.

    2014-Brun-EtAl-An introduction to the mechanics of the lasso
    Here, we study the mechanics of the simplest rope trick, the Flat Loop, in which the rope is driven by the steady circular motion of the roper’s hand in a horizontal plane.

    2016-Rob_deBoer-Population Dynamics  A Graphical Approach
    This book is an introduction into modeling population dynamics in ecology. Because there are several good textbooks on this subject, the book needs a novel ecological niche to justify its existence.

    1975-David_Burghes-Population dynamics An introduction to differential equations
    In this paper a number of population models, which lead to differential equations, are derived. First-order variables separable equations are formulated from the Malthusian population model and its extension to include crowding effects.

    The novelty lies in the fact that different distribution functions are used to describe the variance of individual latencies. The theoretical results of this project indicate that latencies reduce the basic reproduction number.
