Our project examines how underfilled gummy bear packages are by calculating the maximum capacity by volume of each gummy bear package and comparing it with the actual fill. We obtained the volume of the gummy bear packaging by filling it … Continue reading “Just How Outrageously Underfilled are Haribo Gummy Bear Packages?” →

For our poster project, we incorporated the geometries of molecules into multivariable calculus. The idea for this project initially sparked since we are both chemistry majors and wanted to do something related to chemistry, but we did not know what. … Continue reading “3D Modeling the Geometries of Molecules” →

Antoni Gaudi was a Catalan architect whose career seemed to have consisted of one masterpiece after another, with his most famous masterpiece being his Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. The Sagrada Familia (“Sacred Family) is a church which is essentially dedicated … Continue reading “3D Shapes in Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia” →

Our group is concerned about good health and we think fruits are a good source for acquiring various types of vitamins. Therefore, we plan to draw a variety of fruits using parametric equations. Parametric equations are particularly useful for describing … Continue reading “3D Modeling of the Fruit Platter” →

When this project was explained in class, we heard various examples of previous students who used Mathematica to graph different types of food, such as an ice cream cone and pasta. We decided to do something similar and graph a … Continue reading “Modeling our Breakfast from Erdman Dining Hall in Mathematica” →

For our final project, we decided to model in Mathematica a 3-dimensional rowing single on the water with separate port and starboard oars. We are both on Bryn Mawr’s Varsity Crew Team so we wanted to do a rowing related … Continue reading “Row, Row, Row Your Boat!” →

The goal for my project was to create a 3D model of my cat (Oliver) in Mathematica. Being away from home can be difficult so I decided to select a topic that would bring me lots of joy during the … Continue reading “Modeling Oliver in Mathematica” →

We were drawn to this topic because evidence for gravitational waves is relatively new, and there is still exciting research emerging as we speak. First detected by LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory) in 2015, gravitational waves prove even more of … Continue reading “Modeling Gravitational Waves in Mathematica!” →
