Peer reviewedClements, L. S.; Clements, R. R. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1978
A course is described which gives students experience in creating practical mathematical models of "real" problems, relating the mathematical solutions of the model to the original problem, and recognizing non-mathematical constraints on possible solution approaches. The students assume the role of industrial mathematicians while their tutors play…

One aim of this report is to show and emphasize that in the computational approaches to most of today's pressing and challenging scientific and technological problems, the mathematical aspects cannot and should not be considered in isolation. Following an introductory chapter, chapter 2 discusses a number of typical problems leading to…

PDF pending restorationCohen, Simon – 1979
Models of the motion of an object through space are discussed. The material begins with the simplest view possible in which gravity is the only force examined. Discussion progresses to an examination of the drag force, which is the resistive air force of the wind. Suggestions for further improvements are made at the conclusion of the presentation.…

Peer reviewedHassler, John C. – Chemical Engineering Education, 1981
Describes a three-hour, one-semester graduate course to provide numerical methods and modeling techniques to handle problems in future courses or engineering practice. Includes rationale for topics such as interpolation, integration, and equation roots, among others. Indicates that all problems require computer use. (SK)

Schoenfeld, Alan H.; And Others – 1980
One module is presented in units 203, 204, and 205, as a guide for students, and presents a general strategy for solving integrals effectively. With this material is a solutions manual to exercises. This document set also includes a unit featuring applications of calculus to geography: 206-Mercator's World Map and the Calculus. Unit 207-Management…

Prussing, John E. – 1980
This document looks at specific applications of calculus to engineering. It is noted that for an automobile traveling at constant speed, the mathematical relationship between the directional heading and the angular deflection of the steering wheel can be calculated with respect to time. An analysis is presented which derives the relationship from…
