Deng, 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…

Winkel, 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…

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.…

Maiti, Alakes; Patra, Bibek; Samanta, G. P. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2008
The present article deals with the problem of combined harvesting of a Michaelis-Menten-type ratio-dependent predator-prey system. The problem of determining the optimal harvest policy is solved by invoking Pontryagin's Maximum Principle. Dynamic optimization of the harvest policy is studied by taking the combined harvest effort as a dynamic…

Kulick, George; Wright, Ronald – International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2008
Grading on the curve is a common practice in higher education. While there are many critics of the practice it still finds wide spread acceptance particularly in science classes. Advocates believe that in large classes student ability is likely to be normally distributed. If test scores are also normally distributed instructors and students tend…

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)

Faraco, G.; Gabriele, L. – Computers & Education, 2007
Simulations make it possible to explore physical and biological phenomena, where conducting the real experiment is impracticable or difficult. The implementation of a software program describing and simulating a given physical situation encourages the understanding of a phenomenon itself. Fifty-nine students, enrolled at the Mathematical Methods…

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 reviewedBonin, Hugues W.; Weir, Ronald D. – Chemical Engineering Education, 1984
Describes a course designed to assist students in writing differential equations to represent chemical processes and to solve these problems on digital computers. Course outline and discussion of computer projects and the simulation and optimization of a continuously stirred tank reactor process are included. (JN)

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)
