    1-044-CollegeBound-ModelingScenario
    Preparing for four years of college for a friend of the family's newborn is the task. Making assumptions about costs, timing, interest rates, and fiscal capabilities are the order of the day.

    5-005-Dialysis-ModelingScenario
    We design a compartment model of a kidney dialysis machine and compare 3 and 9 compartments for the machine as well as determine the effect of change in one of the parameters in the model on the effectiveness to deliver quality dialysis.

    1-089-SpreadOfDisease-ModelingScenario
    In this project I want to use the algebra based concept “difference quotient” to solve differential equations models with the help of Excel. That means even students with only a College Algebra background, can still enjoy differential equation...

    6-006-ZombieGameHvZ-ModelingScenario
    Invented in 2005, Humans vs. Zombies, or HvZ, is a game of tag, predominantly played at US college campuses. In this activity, students use systems of non-linear differential equations to model the HvZ game.

    6-070-BeerBubbles-ModelingScenario
    The goal of this project is to set up and numerically solve a first-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE) system of three equations in three unknowns that models beer bubbles that form at the bottom of a glass and rise to the top.

    1-011A-Kinetics-ModelingScenario
    We help students see the connection between college level chemistry course work and their differential equations coursework. We do this through modeling kinetics, or rates of chemical reaction.

    3-017-StackedCoffeeFiltersFalling-ModelingScenario
    Data on free falling 2, 4, 6, and 8 stacked coffee filters is offered. Students form a model using a resistance term proportional to velocity, velocity squared, or velocity to some general power. Parameters need to be estimated and models compared.

    1-136-MarriageAge-ModelingScenario
    Students will build and analyze a model of the fraction of people who are married (for the first time) by a certain age. Students are asked to set up and solve these differential equations. They are then expected to analyze the behavior of these...
