The application of differential equations to model the motion of a paper helicopter|Presentation

This project was completed during the Spring 2006 through the Spring 2007 semesters of my Undergraduate work, under the supervision of Dr. Kris Green . This word file has been converted from Windows to Linux, and things have been distorted a bit. I'll have a PDF version whenever I get some free time (haha).

Application of a dynamical two-box surface-atmosphere model to the Mount Pinatubo cooling event|Presentation

Supervised by, and co-authored with Dr. Robert S. Knox, Summer 2006 through the University of Rochester's REU program. This time in my life will be difficult to forget, as I broke my arm half way through the research. Fun. As with the preceeding file, this has been converted uncountably many times between platforms, and so the document is a little garbled right now. PDF version hopefully on its way.
