Cooling Math Offices in Ware Hall |
Recently,
our mathematics department moved into the former music building, Ware
Hall. The university renovated the old choir rehearsal hall to form four
faculty offices and one computer lab. The temperature of all of these rooms is
controlled by a single thermostat, which the renovation enclosed in a faculty
office. In this talk we present several elementary differential equation models
of temperature issues associated with our heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning (HVAC) unit that should be accessible to students who have taken
two semesters of calculus.
Please join us for
light refreshments at 4:15pm outside WSC 109.
