    1-015-DimensionlessVariables-TechniqueNarrative
    This material introduces the idea of ``rescaling'' for ordinary differential equations (ODE's) by the use of dimensionless variables. In practice this is an extremely common and useful prelude to the analysis and solution of ODE's.

    2015-Zhang-EtAl-On the Selection of ODE Models with Application to Predator-Prey Dynamical Models
    We propose a computationally inexpensive approach that employs statistical estimation of the full model, followed by a combination of a least squares approximation (LSA) and the adaptive Lasso.

    6-002-EulerCromerPendulum-ModelingScenario
    This activity introduces students to the concept of numerical stability. While modeling a simple pendulum, students compare performance of the semi-implicit Euler-Cromer method with Euler's method and the higher-order Improved Euleror algorithm.

    2014-Vance-Eads-Sensitivity Analysis of a Three-Species Nonlinear Response Omnivory Model with Predator Stage Structure
    We investigate a three-species nonlinear response omnivory model incorporating stage structure in the top predator. The model consists of four coupled ordinary differential equations involving fourteen parameters.
