    2006-Ousmane_Mousa_Tessa-Mathematical model for control of measles by vaccination
    In this article, we use a compartmental mathematical model of the dynamics of measles spread within a population with variable size to provide this framework.

    2013-Brian_Winkel-An_Optimal_Control_Model_in_Insect_Colonies
    we find and develop background material on an application of optimal control theory to model the evolutionary strategy of an insect colony to produce the maximum number of queen or reproducer insects in the colony at the end of a season.

    6-008-PursuitModels-Modeling Scenario
    Students are prompted to build systems of nonlinear differential equations to model pursuit-evader activities in which a pursuer attempts to follow, perhaps track down and come close to, an evader without knowledge of the evader's intentions, just...

    2008-Ratneesh_Suri-Optimal harvesting strategies for fisheries-differential equations approach
    We develop and investigate the harvesting model in both deterministic and stochastic settings. We first employ the Expected Net Present Value approach and determine optimal harvesting policy using various optimization techniques including optimal...

    2009-James_May-Nonlinear vibration control of long flexible structures
    An automated, non-linear control scheme was developed to transfer energy from the fundamental vibration mode, where most vibration energy of the structures of interest resides, to higher order modes where vibration impedance was shown to be...

    2005-DieboldEtAl-Modeling Bond Yields In Finance And Macroeconomics
    From a macroeconomic perspective, the short-term interest rate is a policy instrument under the direct control of the central bank. From a finance perspective, long rates are risk-adjusted averages of expected future short rates.

    1-002-IntegratingFactor-TechniqueNarrative
    We develop a strategy to solve first order differential equations by transforming one side of the equation to the derivative of a product of two functions, thereby making it easy to antidifferentiate that side.

    7-020-ThermometerInVaryingTempStream-ModelingScenario
    We present a first order differential equation model for the temperature of a mercury thermometer which is sitting in a stream of water whose temperature oscillates. We suggest a solving strategy which uses Laplace Transforms.

    2000-Idels-Wang-Harvesting Fisheries Management Strategies With Modified Effort Function
    This study concludes that a control parameter beta (the magnitude of the effect of the fish population size on the fishing effort function E), changes not only the rate at which the population goes to equilibrium, but also the equilibrium values.

    1-005B-ChemDataCollection-ModelingScenario
    A chemistry graduate student is collecting data on a chemical reaction and does a poor job of collecting the data. Indeed, he only collects the data at the start and end of a number of three minute intervals and does not note the times.
