    2020-Cline_Fasteen_Francis_Sullivan_Wendt-Vision_for_Projects_Across_Mathematics_Curriculum
    We consider the use of projects in math courses as a mechanism for promoting coding, communication, and interdisciplinary application of math skills. Final projects play an important role, but we also discuss several alternate types of projects.

    1990-Winkel_Brian-First-year_calculus_students_as_in-class_consultants
    We demonstrate how we use traditional text book calculus problems to involve first year calculus students as consultants. Students are asked to solve a “real world” problem after interviewing a “guest” client –a printer.

    2015-Beier-EtAl-Building Context with Tumor Growth Modeling Projects in Differential Equations
    Here we present two projects related to tumor growth appropriate for a first course in differential equations. They illustrate the use of problem-based learning to reinforce and extend course content via a writing or research experience.

    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.

    2007-Choisy-Guégan-Rohani-Mathematical Modeling of Infectious Diseases Dynamics
    After presenting general notions of mathematical modeling (Section 22.2) and the nature of epidemiological data available to the modeler (Section 22.3), we detail the very basic SIR epidemiological model (Section 22.5).

    1981-Nielsen-Rosenfeld-Substantive Interpretations of Differential Equation Models
    The use of differential equations models to study social processes has been increasing rapidly. There are, however, ambiguities in the interpretation of the parameters of these models.

    The aim is to teach the students to use a fresh approach to the problems they are familiar with, to come up with an articulate verbal model after a mental effort, to express it in rigorous mathematical terms, to solve (with the aid of computers).
