    9-010-TravelingWave-ModelingScenario
    Students are taken through a traveling wave analysis of a porous medium model. While the starting point is a nonlinear partial differential equation model, after a change of variables, students are led quickly to an ordinary differential equation...

    9-005-InvasiveSpeciesModel-ModelingScenario
    This scenario takes students through the development of an invasive species partial differential equation model. Basic models are discussed first, which lead students to eventually develop their own model which takes into account dispersion.

    8-002-TrigSumRepresentation-TechniqueNarrative
    Students discover how to represent functions as sums of trigonometric functions and the value of such representations in many fields. This is an introduction to the study of Fourier Series.

    3-071-WirelessTelegraphy-ModelingScenario
    This project has three parts, (1) done at home, (2) and (3) in class. In (1) we recall how to solve second order differential equations with constant coefficients and simple source functions. In class understand resonance and beats.

    1-116-TropicalStormWindspeeds-ModelingScenario
    We model the decay of tropical cyclone winds once a storm makes landfall. We use data from two recent storms from the National Hurricane Center to estimate parameters emanating from a differential equation using a first order exponential decay model.

    9-012-PDEGuitarTuning-ModelingScenario
    We lead students through a derivation of a partial differential equation which models the motion of a string held at both ends, a case of the one-dimensional wave equation, and then play it on Mathematica.
