The Distribution Of Energies, Dung Tien Do
Undergraduate Journal of Mathematical Modeling: One + Two
The application of calculus is of great importance in physics. It is used to calculate energy, acceleration, velocity, and much more. In this paper, to calculate the internal energy of an ideal gas (gas molecules) we will use Maxwell-Boltzmann statistical distribution based entirely on calculus. The technique represents the mathematical concept that depends on integration and substitution in calculus to solve a problem.

Electrical Efficiency Of A Solar Cell, Johnnie Cairns
Undergraduate Journal of Mathematical Modeling: One + Two
Our goal was to determine the electrical efficiency of a solar cell, specifically a CuInGaSe2 solar cell. Solar cells work by converting energy from the sun in the form of photons to electrical energy in the form of electrons. However, the solar energy converted into electrical energy is limited by a property of solar cells called the quantum efficiency. The quantum efficiency of a solar cell is the fraction of photons hitting the cell that are converted into electrons; quantum efficiency varies as a function of wavelength. Another key component which also varies as a function of wavelength is spectral …
