Real-World Applications: Strategies to Inspire Students to Learn Calculus and Differential Equations Through Modeling

Key elements of strategy to inspire students include: Pre-Class Preparation; Historical Context (Starting each lecture with a brief historical overview to provide relevance and context to the material); Interactive Real-Life Problem Solving (Discussing the main concepts of the lecture and collaboratively solving challenging problems); Proof Techniques (Demonstrating mathematical methods used to prove key statements from the current lesson); Real-Time Feedback.
