Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations
In Calculus we learned that Sum^{n}_{k=1} k = [n(n+1)]/2 , that Sum^{n}_{k=1} k^2 = [n(n+1)(2n+1)]/6 , and that Sum^{n}_{k=1} k^{3} = (n(n+1)/2)^{2}. These formulas are useful when solving for the area below quadratic or cubic function over an interval [a, b]. This tedious process, solving for areas under a quadratic or a cubic, served as motivation for the introduction of Riemman integrals. For the overzealous math student, these steps were replaced by a simpler method of evaluating antiderivatives at the endpoints a and b. From my recollection, a former instructor informed us to do the value of memorizing these formulas. …

Applications With Discrete And Continuous Models: Harvesting And Contact Tracing, Danielle L. Burton
Doctoral Dissertations
Harvest plays an important role in management decisions, from fisheries to pest control. Discrete models enable us to explore the importance of timing of management decisions including the order of events of particular actions. We derive novel mechanistic models featuring explicit within season harvest timing and level. Our models feature explicit discrete density independent birth pulses, continuous density dependent mortality, and density independent harvest level at a within season harvest time. We explore optimization of within-season harvest level and timing through optimal control of these population models. With a fixed harvest level, harvest timing is taken as the control. Then …

Teaching And Learning Of Fluid Mechanics, Ashwin Vaidya
Department of Mathematics Facuty Scholarship and Creative Works
Fluid mechanics occupies a privileged position in the sciences; it is taught in various science departments including physics, mathematics, environmental sciences and mechanical, chemical and civil engineering, with each highlighting a different aspect or interpretation of the foundation and applications of fluids. Doll’s fluid analogy [5] for this idea is especially relevant to this issue: “Emergence of creativity from complex flow of knowledge—example of Benard convection pattern as an analogy—dissipation or dispersal of knowledge (complex knowledge) results in emergent structures, i.e., creativity which in the context of education should be thought of as a unique way to arrange information so …
