Interdisciplinary Lively Application Projects

The ILAPs provide supplemental classroom resource materials in the form of eight project handouts that you can use as student homework assignments. They require students to use scientific and quantitative reasoning, mathematical modeling, symbolic manipulation skills, and computational tools to solve and analyze scenarios, issues, and questions involving one or more disciplines. The prerequisite skills for the eight projects presented in the book range from freshmen-level algebra, trigonometry, and precalculus; through calculus, elementary and intermediate differential equations, and discrete mathematics to advanced calculus and partial differential equations.
