We model airline ticket prices over a three month period to predict the best time to buy a cheap ticket
B. Cao, C. Hatzigeorgiou, S. Weiss: Mathematical Modeling on Trains
We create a model to determine the expected duration of a subway trip based on number of stops, number of transfers, and distance between starting location and final destination.
Presenting Wednesday, May 18, 2011 from 10:50–12:05 in the President's Conference Room 2:
D. Screen, T. Tibball, M. Wenz: What affects college tuition
