Students join NASA’s trajectory verification team during the Apollo 13 mission. They solve a separable differential equation to model the spacecraft’s velocity during descent, use Euler’s Method to...
In this project, students investigate deviations in Uranus’s orbit, mirroring the real analysis that led to the discovery of Neptune in 1846. They use parametric and polar equations...
In this three-part worksheet, students solve problems based on the ideas of three figures who shaped Newton’s thinking: Isaac Barrow, John Wallis, and René Descartes. Each part connects...
In this worksheet, students trace the historical development of calculus through Augustin-Louis Cauchy’s original definitions from his 1821 Cours d’analyse, connecting his original language in the book to...
In this worksheet, students take the role of codebreakers at Bletchley Park, using probability to evaluate WWII codebreaking methods. They use Bayes’ Theorem to assess the reliability of...
This worksheet is a collection of interesting problems from real math textbooks used in the early 1900s. Problems covering many topics that would have been seen by 1900s...
