Olga Alexandrovna Ladyzhenskaya (1922-2004) is profiled, who worked in linear, quasilinear, and nonlinear partial (and some ordinary) differential equations of elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic types, with some theoretical applications...

This activity uses the graphing calculator and the CBR(tm) to determine how far a baseball will travel and if it would be a homerun at a Major League baseball game. This activity uses differential equations to determine the distance...

Resistance to forward movement will be proportional to the velocity of the object. That relationship can be expressed by an equation that you can learn about on this page. Great review for the AP Calculus test!

This activity is an application of differentiation involving related rates. Students set up equations relating the variables and then differentiate them with respect to time to find the rate a distance is changing and an angle is changing.

An excellent page from the Colorado State University with a heavy mathematical emphasis. Each form of heat transfer--conduction, convection, and radiation--is defined, compared, and contrasted. Mathematical equations governing the rates...
