    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.

    3-031-SpringCost-ModelingScenario
    We assume students are familiar with overdamping and underdamping of a spring-mass-dashpot system. Students will apply this knowledge to model the interplay between spring constant, tolerance, and cost.

    3-050-CometOrbitalMechanics-ModelingScenario
    The broad goal of this activity is to use a basic numerical method to approximate the solution of an initial value problem. In this particular case, we will use Euler's method to help model the trajectory of a comet as it orbits the sun.

    There is a pdf and html version of the text as well as a purchasable paperback version. The text has pretty much all the basics, but has only a few exercises and there is very little modeling.
