1-170-S-CensusModeling-StudentVersion
22 Dec 2021 | | Contributor(s):: Jean Marie Linhart, Gary William Epp
Students who have studied models for population are likely to be familiar with the exponential and the logistic population models. The goal here is to explore the role of modeling assumptions in choosing which model to use. We will compare and contrast the United States census data and the...

1-104-S-InfectionRisk
26 Aug 2021 | | Contributor(s):: Qingxia Li
This project is designed to examine differences between the exponential and logistic growth models in biology and how to apply these models in solving epidemic questions. This project was designed for an introductory section in Calculus II or a course involving ordinary differential equations,...

1-100-S-EngineeringDemographics
20 Aug 2021 | | Contributor(s):: Brody Dylan Johnson, Elodie Pozzi
The goal of this activity is to show students how population models can be used to examine social issues. The students will examine three different population models and will use numerical methods to apply each model to demographic data for the percentage of engineering degrees awarded to women...

6-029-S-TumorGrowth
04 Aug 2021 | | Contributor(s):: Allison Leigh Lewis
This modeling scenario guides a student familiar with single ordinary differential equation (ODE) models towards the development of a more complex system of two ODEs for describing the evolution of tumor growth over time. Students should have prior experience with solving ODEs using the separable...

6-026-S-FakingGause
30 Oct 2020 | | Contributor(s):: Brian Winkel
We use a fake or toy data set to permit discovery of the parameters in a two population protozoan model used to study paramecium and yeast competiton in the 1930's studies of G.~F.~Gause in the Soviet Union.
