Title of Talk | The Feasibility of Electric Vehicles: Driving Interest in Mathematical Modeling |
Abstract | The 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. |
