| Lessons in Mathematics Section 5: Oscillatory Behavior |
|
|
Author(s):
Diana M. Fisher |
Subject:
Math |
| |
This book provides a set of tools that enables educators to teach mathematics using the framework of System Dynamics. Section 5 covers sinusoidal functions, including simple harmonic motion. Distance versus time lessons using a motion detector are also included, as are lessons on predator-prey systems.
Complex Systems Connection: Cause within System. The lessons in this section can be used as building blocks for the Oscillations curriculum that illustrates "the cause of the problem is within the system." |
