Technology can be a very useful tool for mathematical modeling. In Coordinating Seminar at Mount Saint Mary College I brought my own technology that will help with visualization. Having technology will provide students with positive reinforcement to create concrete connections.
A use for Mathematica can help solve differential equations to model a snail's temperature change and to determine whether it reaches its upper lethal body temperature while in the tide pool.
See Snails in a tide pool example
Using the worksheet below and the program Mathematica we can create mathematical models for solving differential equations which is here.
