Stoner, Melissa A.; Joyner, Robert L. – PRIMUS, 2022
Relating mathematics learned in the classroom to real situations increases student motivation and enhances learning. In this paper, we provide an example of a classroom application of calculus to physiology in two courses: "Differential Equations" and "Calculus I for Biology and Medicine." We designed and implemented a project…

Doerr, Helen M.; Ärlebäck, Jonas B.; Costello Staniec, Andria – Journal of Engineering Education, 2014
Background: Since students' success in their first-semester college mathematics course is a key factor in their success in engineering, many summer bridge programs for underrepresented students focus on their preparation in mathematics. However, research on the design and efficacy of such programs is limited. We examine the design and…
