Download full textDeng, Jeremiah D.; Purvis, Martin K. – Informatics in Education, 2015
Service modelling has become an increasingly important area in today's telecommunications and information systems practice. We have adapted a Network Design course in order to teach service modelling to a mixed class of both the telecommunication engineering and information systems backgrounds. An integrated approach engaging mathematics teaching…

Direct linkWinkel, Brian J. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2012
This article offers modelling opportunities in which the phenomena of the spread of disease, perception of changing mass, growth of technology, and dissemination of information can be described by one differential equation--the logistic differential equation. It presents two simulation activities for students to generate real data, as well as…

As part of a 3-wk intersession workshop funded by a National Science Foundation Expeditions in Computing award, 15 undergraduate students from the City University of New York collaborated on a study aimed at characterizing the voltage dynamics and arrhythmogenic behavior of cardiac cells for a broad range of physiologically relevant conditions…

Ledder, Glenn – PRIMUS, 2008
The simplest age-structured population models update a population vector via multiplication by a matrix. These linear models offer an opportunity to introduce mathematical modeling to students of limited mathematical sophistication and background. We begin with a detailed discussion of mathematical modeling, particularly in a biological context.…

Karian, Z.A. – 1977
Depending on their programming knowledge, students can become involved with the use of the computer in the construction and analysis of mathematical models, either through observing and/or interacting with a model developed by a programmer, or by becoming involved in the process of constructions and testing of models. The Bush-Mosteller Simple…

Peer reviewedFord, David L.; And Others – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1978
Econometric techniques for estimating the parameters of individual and group multi-attribute utility models are discussed. These techniques permit measurement of intra-and inter-individual heterogeneity with regard to the importance ascribed to the model attributes. (Author/JKS)

Peer reviewedFraas, John W. – Journal of Experimental Education, 1980
This study investigated the impact of four student characteristics and the instructors on the relative abilities of a simulation-gaming method and the lecture-discussion method to increase the economic knowledge, retention of economic knowledge, and interest toward economics of college students enrolled in an introductory economics course.…

Peer reviewedMauger, John W.; And Others – American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education, 1978
A simulation experiment for the dissolution kinetics of steroids is described whose goals are to demonstrate the characteristics of the physical-chemical model for dissolution and to relate the physical-chemical model to the potential therapeutic availability of the drug. Computational details are given. (LBH)

Peer reviewedMetcalfe Eich, Janet – Psychological Review, 1982
A model of association formation, storage, and retrieval is described. Experiments which test new predictions derived from the model against human recall are reported. The model is applied to previous findings: prototype abstraction, the A-B A-D paradigm and the Osgood transfer surface. Previous models of memory are discussed. (Author/RD)

Peer reviewedBronson, Richard – Two-Year College Mathematics Journal, 1982
The use of continuous simulation is promoted as a teaching tool in the undergraduate curriculum. Simulation, advances in continuous simulation, an approach to teaching system dynamics, computer languages deemed suitable for continuous simulation, and an outline of a prototypic first course in continuous simulation are presented. (MP)

Peer reviewedBleau, Barbara Lee – Higher Education, 1981
Planning model literature from its earliest use to the present, emphasizing the generalized resource allocation models, is summarized. Several examples of categories of models are cited. An in-depth analysis of six resource allocation models (e.g., CAMPUS Simulation Model, TRADES Financial Planning Model) is presented. (Author/MLW)

Stewart, Peter A. – Physiologist, 1979
Defines and discusses the analog computer and its use in a physiology laboratory. Includes two examples: (1) The Respiratory Control Function and (2) CO-Two Control in the Respiratory System. Presents diagrams and mathematical models. (MA)

Peer reviewedDorn, William S. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1975
Describes two types of computer-based experiments: simulation (which assumes no student knowledge of the workings of the computer program) is recommended for experiments aimed at inductive reasoning; and modeling (which assumes student understanding of the computer program) is recommended for deductive processes.

Kahne, Stephen – Engineering Education, 1980
This article argues that systems thinking transcends disciplinary boundaries and should be part of everyone's education. Stresses future importance of systems global models and their capacity for planning and decision making on a world scale. A tentative topic outline for a systems approach course at university level is proposed. (Author/SMB)
