Matemática e ciência forense: uma proposta de ensino de equações diferenciais para obtenção do instante aproximado da morte

Abstract

This article aims to propose a didactic sequence focused on the study of Differential Equations, which was based on Newton's Law of Cooling to present the applicability of this content in criminal investigation, more precisely to show how the approximate instant of death is obtained. The methodology adopted to create the didactic sequence was bibliographical research of the themes already mentioned, from the perspective of Mathematical Modeling. It is expected that the developed material will help Higher Education teachers, whose curricular components contain the object of knowledge in question, in order to make mathematics more stimulating and attractive for students from the visualization of its usefulness in solving criminal cases.
