    1-005B-ChemDataCollection-ModelingScenario
    A chemistry graduate student is collecting data on a chemical reaction and does a poor job of collecting the data. Indeed, he only collects the data at the start and end of a number of three minute intervals and does not note the times.

    1-001s-StochasticMDeathImmigration-ModelingScenario
    We develop a mathematical model of a death and immigration process using m&ms as a stochastic process with the help of probability generating functions (pgf). We start with 50 m&ms in a bag.

    1-001d-HotelPopulationDecay-ModelingScenario
    You will be modeling the following situation: 100 people are in a hotel. Each day, each person has a random chance of 50% of leaving the hotel. No new people enter the hotel. Before you run the simulation in MATLAB, answer some questions.

    1-047a-CondensationOptimization-ModelingScenario
    We seek to optimize a condensation process which is modeled by a simulation using the random motion of 200 particles in a 50 by 50 square in which a particle bounces off the two vertical and top walls and condenses on the bottom wall.

    1-011-Kinetics-ModelingScenario
    We make the connection between chemistry course and differential equations coursework. We do this through modeling kinetics, or rates of chemical reaction. We study zeroth, first, and second order reactions.
