Full Issue : Linking Differential Equations to Social Justice and Environmental Concerns

Borrelli had a special interest in Differential Equations, and he sought throughout his career to link DE's to real word problems. In particular, in 1972, he helped start the Math Clinic, where industries and government agencies work with groups of advanced undergraduate students on unsolved real-world problems that require imaginative, numerically oriented problem-solving skills. The Math Clinic is designed to educate engineers and scientists who will have a knowledge of the society in which they live and whose contributions after graduation reflect an understanding of society's needs.
