Differentialgleichungen in Der Theoretischen Ökologie

This volume is part of a 7-volume series that deals with the application of differential equations in various fields of physics, mathematics, biology, and engineering. This book is intended as a guide for beginners to the modeling of populations and their interactions. Readers will learn, in clear, step-by-step instructions, how an ecosystem can be modeled using differential equations under reasonable assumptions and idealizations, and how existing models must be adapted in the event of human intervention or when accounting for phenomena such as intra- and interspecific competition or limited food availability, etc. The resulting differential equation or system of differential equations is solved exactly or numerically; the results are presented in words and through computer simulations, and are accompanied by numerous concrete, fully solved examples.
