Victor Lebora´n; Francisco Rivadulla – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The process of diffusion is intimately related to random molecular displacement and is central to many problems in chemistry. Here, we provide an intuitive derivation of the diffusion equation based on the analysis of the random trajectories of particles generated and plotted by simple MATLAB and Python scripts. The codes are very simple and…

Liang Kong – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
The COVID-19 pandemic, like past historical events such as the Vietnam War or 9/11, will shape a generation. Mathematics educators can seize this unprecedented opportunity to teach the principles of mathematical modeling in epidemiology. Compartmental epidemiological models, such as the SIR (susceptible-infected-recovered), are widely used by…

Peabody, Michael R. – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2023
Many organizations utilize some form of automation in the test assembly process; either fully algorithmic or heuristically constructed. However, one issue with heuristic models is that when the test assembly problem changes the entire model may need to be re-conceptualized and recoded. In contrast, mixed-integer programming (MIP) is a mathematical…

Enderle, Patrick; King, Natalie; Margulieux, Lauren – Science Teacher, 2021
Teaching about wave structure and function is a critical element of any physical science curriculum and supported by "Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)" PS4: Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer. To support students' learning of these ideas, teachers often rely on developing graphic models of a…

Geng, Jianming; Chen, Kaiyuan; Wang, Nengxin; Ling, Sihan; Guo, Muqi; Huang, Zuyi – Chemical Engineering Education, 2019
US high school (HS) students are lagging behind their foreign peers in math performance. It is thus necessary to design teaching modules that motivate US HS students to learn more math and to improve their math skills. Our study set out to test two different software programs designed for the development of such skills. MATLAB Simulink provides a…

Parkavi, A.; Lakshmi, K.; Srinivasa, K. G. – Educational Research and Reviews, 2017
Data analysis techniques can be used to analyze the pattern of data in different fields. Based on the analysis' results, it is recommended that suggestions be provided to decision making authorities. The data mining techniques can be used in educational domain to improve the outcome of the educational sectors. The authors carried out this research…

Colella, Vanessa Stevens; Klopfer, Eric; Resnick, Mitchel – 2001
For thousands of years people from da Vinci to Einstein have created models to help them better understand patterns and processes in the world around them. Computers make it easier for novices to build and explore their own models and learn new scientific ideas in the process. This book introduces teachers and students to designing, creating, and…

Haertel, Edward H. – 1996
These FORTRAN programs and MATHEMATICA routines were developed in the course of a research project titled "Achievement and Assessment in School Science: Modeling and Mapping Ability and Performance." Their use is described in other publications from that project, including "Latent Traits or Latent States? The Role of Discrete Models…

Albano, Giovannina; D'Apice, Ciro; Tomasiello, Stefania – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2002
A Mathematica[TM] package is described that uses simulations and animations to illustrate key concepts in harmonic oscillation and electric circuits for students not majoring in physics or mathematics. Students are not required to know the Mathematica[TM] environment: a user-friendly interface with buttons functionalities and on-line help allows…
