Lecture Schedule
There is no fixed calendar for this course. I will spend as much time on each topic as is necessary, and we will go as far as we can through the material presented in Otto and Day. Though it may not look it, the list of topics below is pretty ambitious. I give the order topics will be covered in, with corresponding readings in Otto and Day for further reading/reference.
Topic:
Introduction to mathematical biology How to construct a model Single-species population models in discrete and continuous time Linear multivariable models in discrete and continuous time Nonlinear multivariable models in discrete and continuous time Evolutionary invasion analysis Stochastic models |
