DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/ESME/1/">Cal
 culus in context: Introducing calculus Ideas through epidemiology models</
 a>\nby Eric Stade (University of Colorado\, Boulder) as part of Online Sem
 inar On Undergraduate Mathematics Education\n\n\nAbstract\nNow is probably
  as good a time as any\, unfortunately\, to argue for a first-semester Cal
 culus course that begins with the S-I-R\, or Susceptible-Infected-Recovere
 d\, dynamical system from epidemiology. I’ll describe how I use S-I-R to
  kick-start a course\, that\, eventually\, gets to all of the usual Calc I
  stuff\, and is richly satisfying to math geeks (like me) while still appe
 aling to students who are perhaps less geeky\, or geeky in different direc
 tions. This course is based on the brilliantly subversive\, but wonderfull
 y accessible\, text Calculus and Context by the Five-College Calculus Team
 : James Callahan\, David A. Cox\, Kenneth R. Hoffman\, Donal O'Shea\, Harr
 iet Pollatsek\, and Lester Senechal.\n
