Overview
By the end of this chapter, you will be able to solve problems when given equations dealing with the change in a variable. In this chapter, you'll use numerical methods to model populations and temperatures and use differential equations to calculate their past values or predict their future values. You'll learn how to use binary search to guess and check your way to a very accurate solution when you know it's in a specific range of numbers. You'll also model situations where objects move and solve for their future positions when given differential equations for their velocity.
Math students often complain that there's no real-world application for the kinds of problems arising ...
