    1972-R_C_Rothermel-A Mathematical Model for Predicting Fire Spread in Wildland Fuels
    The development of a mathematical model for predicting rate of fire spread and intensity applicable to a wide range of wildland fuels is presented from the conceptual stage through evaluation and demonstration of results to hypothetical fuel models.

    2009-Brian_Winkel-Modelling_Growth_Of_an_OilSlick
    An oil-slick spreads at sea. From time to time, but irregularly, a helicopter is dispatched. On each trip, it arrives over the slick, the pilot takes a picture, waits 10 minutes, takes another, and heads home. Model this.

    2018-Eduardo-Sontag-Lecture_Notes_on_Mathematical_Systems_Biology
    I am often asked if it is OK to use these notes in courses at other universities. The answer is “of course!” though I strongly suggest that a link to my website be provided, so that students can always access the current version.

    2022-Kalman-Improved Approaches Discrete Continuous Logistic Equation
    In the precalculus curriculum, logistic growth generally appears in either a discrete or continuous setting. These actually feature distinct versions of logistic growth, and textbooks rarely provide exposure to both.

    1-001-MM-DeathAndImmigration-ModelingScenario
    We conduct a simulation of death and immigration, using a small set of "individuals", m&m candies or any two sided object (coin, chips), in which upon tossing a set of individuals we cause some to die and others then to immigrate. Modeling ensues!

    Students model with logistic growth, harvesting, and diffusion in analyzing ocean fisheries of the Atlantic cod. We help students build models, ever more complex, to capture physical realities. At each stage we ask students to reflect on the model.
