    2017-Adolfo_Rumbos-Differential Equations and modeling
    The study of any phenomenon in the physical or biological sciences, in which continuity and differentiability assumptions about the quantities in question can be made, invariably leads to a differential equation, or a system of differential...

    1-107-ClothDry-ModelingScenario
    We build a mathematical model for the rate of drying in a wet cloth while hanging in air. A model can be based on underlying physical principles (analytic) or based on observations and reasoned equations, but no physical assumptions (empirical).

    2012-Hassan_Moore-Using projects to stimulate learning in mathematics and engineering mathematics courses
    Given that time is a premium in the academy and project creation is a time consumer, three original projects, which may be injected into any Calculus III, Differential Equations, or Engineering Mathematics course, have been created.

    5-005-StiffDifferentialEquations-TechniqueNarrative
    This material introduces the topic of ``stiffness'' for a system of ordinary differential equations (ODE's), through a series of examples. Stiffness is a property that a system of ODE's may posses that make it difficult to solve numerically.
