MATH 3
CSC
|
This term we will model the population of the United States using calculus. Using actual census data from the years 1790-1990 we will model the data using various functions and compare the resulting fits. We will also use analytic methods to solve the equations that arise. After studying the models, we will attempt to estimate the long range limiting size of the population.
After exploring each of the CSC chapter worksheets above, students will compile their results in a set of Chapter Reports. These reports will synthesize our efforts to model the USA population using calculus. You can read a generic Chapter Report to see their general structure, and you can download Chapter Report worksheets for each chapter.
Math 3 students have explored a wide range of topics during previous terms. Examples of CSC's from earlier terms are available to browse and download in the Archive Section. |
