    1-190-IntroClass-ModelingScenario
    Students go through development of ideas in mathematical modeling with differential equations. They encounter fundamental ideas of unlimited population growth, limited population growth and a predator prey system.

    1981-Nielsen-Rosenfeld-Substantive Interpretations of Differential Equation Models
    The use of differential equations models to study social processes has been increasing rapidly. There are, however, ambiguities in the interpretation of the parameters of these models.

    1-039-StochasticPopModels-ModelingScenario
    We develop strategies for creating a population model using some simple probabilistic assumptions. These assumptions lead to a system of differential equations for the probability that a system is in state (or population size) n at time t.
