An exposition of a variety of mathematical models arising in the physical and biological sciences. Students' modeling projects are presented in class. Topics may include: GPS navigation, medical ...

Recent research has convincingly documented elementary school children's tendency to neglect real-world knowledge and realistic considerations during mathematical modeling of word problems in school ...

A network is a mathematical model used to represent relationships through connections, and this framework can be used to represent many real-world systems, such as the brain. There are multiple ways ...

Researchers demonstrate how mathematical modeling combined with dynamic biomarkers can be used to characterize metastatic disease and identify appropriate therapeutic approaches to improve patient ...

Medicine makers need to get better at math. Improved mathematical modeling would accelerate the move toward automated processes, cut production times, and reduce costs. Researchers Francesco Destro, ...

The sport of jai alai might not have a wide following, but its complex scoring system “has interesting mathematical properties that just beg the techno-geek to try to exploit it,” writes Steven Skiena ...

MalariaControl.net is a mathematical modeling project that is used to examine the spread of malaria and to "determine the optimal strategies for delivering mosquito nets, chemotherapy, or new vaccines ...
