    5-040-TunedMassDamper-Part-I-Modeling Scenario
    We offer an opportunity to build mathematical models to mitigate dangerous displacements in structures using structural improvements called Tuned Mass Dampers. We model the motion of the original structure as a spring-mass-dashpot system.

    2002-Dietz-Heesterbeek-Daniel Bernoulli-epidemiological model revisited
    The seminal paper by Daniel Bernoulli published in 1766 is put into a new perspective. After a short account of smallpox inoculation and of Bernoulli’s life, the motivation for that paper and its impact are described.

    1999-Long-Weiss-The Velocity Dependence of Aerodynamic Drag A Primer for Mathematicians
    This paper is exactly what it says it is, namely, a Primer for Mathematicians. There are ample models, data, attention to such issues as Reynolds’ numbers, and attention to aerodynamics issues.
