    We share with you our work and invite you to join SIMIODE. All is FREE in SIMIODE.

    Hundreds of potential ideas for teaching, rich Modeling Scenarios from which to motivate the study of differential equations through modeling, and much more are offered in this Community of Practice with thousands of student and faculty members already engaged.

    We feature several initiatives including our forthcoming SIMIODE text.  SIMIODE is proud to announce a Preview Version of its forthcoming online text, Differential Equations:  A Toolbox For Modeling The World.  Authored by the distinguished teacher and author, Kurt Bryan, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Terre Haute IN USA, this text takes a modeling first and throughout approach to motivate the study and learning of differential equations in the spirit of SIMIODE, while linking to many SIMIODE Modeling Scenarios and other activities. Information including the Table of Contents is available. While the final version suitable for teaching a course in Ordinary Differential Equations course will be available on 15 May 2021 we do offer a preliminary draft version for review. Just write to Director@simiode.org and request a copy.

    SIMIODE also offers SCUDEM - SIMIODE Challenge Using Differential Equations Modeling each fall in which teams of three students from high school and undergraduate schools prepare a mathematics modeling using differential equations

    We also engage in an annual conference, SIMIODE EXPO each February.  You can see details of this year's just completed SIMIODE EXPO, 12-13 February 2021 conference. Within a few weeks videos of all sessions will be posted in SIMIODE's YouTube channel and referenced from the complete program.

    You can learn all about SIMIODE at our Community of Practice at SIMIODE.

    SIMIODE is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization currently receiving funding from the National Science Foundation and the Flora and William Hewlett Foundation.  Come and join our merry band. All is FREE in SIMIODE.
