ABSTRACT: This project was used in a mathematical modeling and introduction to differential equations course for first-year college students. The students worked in two-person groups and were given three weeks to complete the project. Students were given this project three weeks into the course, after basic first order linear differential equation and mathematical modeling concepts were covered. The mathematical prerequisites for the course include courses in single and multivariable calculus.
