  1. 2022-Kalman-Improved Approaches to Discrete and Continuous Logistic Growth

    18 Mar 2022 | Potential Scenario Ideas | Contributor(s):: Brian Winkel

    2022. Kalman, Dan, Improved Approaches to Discrete and Continuous Logistic Growth. PRIMUS. Preprint at https://maa.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10511970.2022.2040664#.YjUMVurMI_U . Abstract: In the precalculus curriculum, logistic growth generally appears in either a discrete...

  2. 1-190-S-IntroClass

    05 Mar 2022 | Modeling Scenarios | Contributor(s):: Bill Skerbitz

    Students are led step by step through the development of introductory ideas in mathematical modeling with differential equations. They will encounter the fundamental ideas underlying unlimited population growth (exponential models), limited population growth (logistic models), and a coupled...

  4. 1-145-S-FastPitch

    23 Jan 2022 | Modeling Scenarios | Contributor(s):: Erich McAlister

    Pitch velocity is one of the most fascinating statistics in baseball, as documented in the 2015 documentary Fastball. Modern measurements of pitch velocity are taken as the maximum velocity achieved at any point between the pitcher's hand and home plate. However, the velocity of the ball...

  5. 4-036-S-AltitudeDependentGravity

    22 Jan 2022 | Modeling Scenarios | Contributor(s):: Jakob Kotas

    Basic projectile motion without air resistance typically assumes gravity is constant. In reality, the acceleration due to gravity is proportional to the inverse-square of the distance between the centers of mass of the Earth and the projectile. When projectiles are near to Earth's surface,...
