161- Bringing Differential Equations to Life with Real Data

Friday, October 12, 2012: 10:30 AM-12:00 PM
Room D170 (Convention Center)
Lead Speaker:
Julie L. Graves


Most calculus students learn how to solve differential equations, but the solution process often seems like symbol manipulation and does not yield any meaningful insight. We will use real data to motivate the study of differential equations. The ability to solve differential equations will open up new and exciting modeling possibilities for students and teachers alike.
