Abstract

Resource Image These three exercises offer students a chance to model with second order ordinary differential equations, how they might incorporate a spring-mass system into a larger model, and how they can use the model to determine the results of a dynamical sysstem.

Description

Our emphasis throughout is on helping students transform a real-world scenario into a model. The scenario for all of the exercises comes from the authors' experiences deployed in the army, and real concerns about terrorist affiliated organizations in the Sinai Peninsula in 2015.

This is a series of three exercises designed to give you an opportunity for modeling with second order differential equations. The theme of the three assignments is an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) blast on a military vehicle.
