Title of TalkThe Feasibility of Electric Vehicles: Driving Interest in Mathematical Modeling
AbstractThe study of electric vehicles can be used to promote interest in mathematical modeling in a variety of courses and student projects. In this presentation, I will discuss how the feasibility of electric vehicles can be investigated using fundamental topics in algebra, calculus, and statistics. I will also give examples of how technology can be incorporated into the investigation.
