3-092-S-WirelessPower
04 Aug 2021 | | Contributor(s):: Maila Hallare, Iordanka Panayotova
This activity presents an engineering application that is modelled by a coupled system of two linear second-order differential equations with constant coefficients. One of the equations is homogeneous while the other one is non-homogeneous. The application is called wireless power transmission...

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...

6-017-S-OncolyticViruses
03 Aug 2021 | | Contributor(s):: Iordanka Panayotova, Maila Hallare
In this project, students explore oncolytic virotherapy using systems of differential equations and numerical simulations. The first activity guides the students in simulating the dynamics between the uninfected cancer cells x(t), the oncolytic virus-infected cancer cells y(t), and the...

5-076-S-LanchesterLaws
27 Jul 2021 | | Contributor(s):: Blain Patterson
Lanchester's laws are used to calculate the relative strengths of military forces. The Lanchester equations are differential equations describing the time dependence of two armies' strengths A and B as a function of time, with the function depending only on A and B. In this project, you...

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.

5-010-S-DNADegradation
21 Apr 2020 | | Contributor(s):: Brian Winkel
We ask students to use the system of first order linear differential equations given in a source paper and estimates of the data from laboratory procedures from a plot to estimate the parameters and complete the modeling process. Then we seek to compare the results of the final model with...

6-045-S-CholeraTranmission
19 Apr 2020 | | Contributor(s):: Urmi Ghosh-Dastidar
A recent cholera outbreak in Haiti brought public attention to this disease. Cholera, a diarrheal disease, is caused by an intestinal bacterium, and if not addressed in a timely manner may become fatal. During the project described here, the students will learn how to solve and address a...
