Slopes is an interactive environment for exploring graphical solutions to ordinary differential equations. Slopes consists of six activities with preloaded examples to get you started and the ability to input your own content. "Slopefields" and “Phase Planes” both plot vector fields and solutions corresponding to multiple initial conditions. “Systems” dynamically solves systems of up to six equations. “Oscillations” solves second-order constant coefficient equations and animates the corresponding spring-mass system or RLC circuit. “Methods” constructs numerical approximations of a single ordinary differential equation using Euler’s method as well as Second and Fourth Order Runge-Kutta methods. "Bifurcations" creates a bifurcation diagram and shows the stability of equilibrium points. Slopes is a playground for ODEs. You can use it for homework, in-class activities or a new research project.

About

MU Safe

Features
Read full description

MU Safe was designed by three Mercer Engineering students (Taiyah Lockett, Jacob Just-Buddy, and Corbin Jones), as their senior design project. The app was designed to better enable students to stay safe on campus and to report dangerous/suspicious incidents more easily. Programming was done by Taiyah Lockett, Jacob Just-Buddy, Corbin Jones, and Dr. Ekong. This app is maintained by Dr. Ekong and students in his Mobile Application Development course.
