1-007-S-AntTunnelBuilding
31 May 2015 | Modeling Scenarios | Contributor(s):: Brian Winkel
We pose the prospect of modeling just how long an ant takes to build a tunnel. With a bit of guidance students produce a model for the time it takes to build a tunnel of length x into the side of a damp sandy hill.

Browsing Your Way to Better Teaching
31 May 2015 | Articles and Publications | Contributor(s):: Brian Winkel
We describe the use of browsing and searching (in libraries, on-line, inside sources, at meetings, in abstracts, etc.) as a way to stimulate the teacher of undergraduate mathematics, specifically in differential equations. The approach works in all other areas of mathematics. Browsing...

Population Modeling with M and M's
30 May 2015 | Articles and Publications | Contributor(s):: Brian Winkel
Several activities in which population dynamics can be modeled by tossing M&M’s® candy are presented. Physical activities involving MandM’s can be modeled by difference equations and several population phenomena, including death and immigration, are studied.

30 May 2015 | Modeling Scenarios | Contributor(s):: Brian Winkel
We present a modeling opportunity for population death with non-constant immigration and suggest the use of both discrete and continuous models with a comparison of results.

1-001-S-MandMDeathAndImmigration
30 May 2015 | Modeling Scenarios | Contributor(s):: Brian Winkel
We describe a classroom activity in which students use M&M candies to simulate death and immigration. Students build a mathematical model, collect data, estimate parameters, and compare their model prediction with their actual data. There is a video of one run of the main simulation in this...
