Timely ideas and information, with daily updates. Frequently Asked Questions Thousands of web sites for educators and students. Support for long-term classroom planning and professional development. Information covering important topics for today's educators and parents.
Content is intended for upper level mathematics and science students.
Advanced level mathematics is required to explain the mechanism supporting the development of each scientific concept. Mathematics topics include exponential growth, the derivative, logarithms, differential equations, and partial derivatives. Interactive models for population growth, with and without predators, feature probabilities that the viewer can adjust to create an animation with pink balls representing population units. These pink balls are used to simulate from one to 20 generations of growth. The theoretical population curve and the curve based on the simulation can be displayed and compared on the same graph.
