Games To Teach Mathematical Modelling, James A. Powell, J. Cangelosi, A. M. Harris

James A. Powell

We discuss the use of in-class games to create realistic situations for mathematical modelling. Two games are presented which are appropriate for use in post-calculus settings. The first game reproduces predator{prey oscillations and the second game simulates disease propagation in a mixing population. When used creatively these games encourage students to model realistic data and apply mathematical concepts to understanding the data.


On Distortion And Thickness Of Knots, Robert B. Kusner, John M. Sullivan Jan 1998

On Distortion And Thickness Of Knots, Robert B. Kusner, John M. Sullivan

Robert Kusner

What length of rope (of given diameter) is required to tie a particular knot? Or, to turn the problem around, given an embedded curve, how thick a regular neighborhood of the curve also is embedded? Intuitively, the diameter of the possible rope is bounded by the distance between strands at the closest crossing in the knot. But of course the distance between two points along a curve goes to zero as the points approach each other, so to make the notion precise, we need to exclude some neighborhood of the diagonal.


Short Time Fourier Transform, Integral Wavelet Transform, And Wavelet Functions Associated With Splines, Tian-Xiao He Dec 1997

Short Time Fourier Transform, Integral Wavelet Transform, And Wavelet Functions Associated With Splines, Tian-Xiao He

Tian-Xiao He

In this article, we discuss short time Fourier transforms, integral wavelet transforms, and wavelet series expansions associated with spline functions in shift-invariant spaces of B-splines. A recurrence relation formula and the corresponding algorithm about the B-wavelets are also given.
