Projects:

Project 1: Inspector Clouseau is Hot on the Trail of the Pink Panther:
Based on a project by Frank Zizza of Willamette University, this version explores exponential functions of the form f(x) = c + a*(b^x). Verbal, numerical and algebraic descriptions of these exponential functions are utilized by students to help Inspector Clouseau determine the guilt or innocence of Chief Inspector Dreyfus in a diamond theft.
 
 
 
 
 


Project 2: Help Bud, Weiss and Irv escape from the Pad, through a tunnel and laser beam protected doorway. Based on a project by Mark Janeba at Willamette University, this version involves symbolic differentiation, maximization, string art style drawings and the treatment of variables and parameters as constants.
