About this book

Laboratory manual exploring, by means of computer simulations, the key areas of population dynamics through time. Using simply presented exercises, it teaches the programming and analysing skills students need for creating their own models of population change. Focus is on biology rather than mathematical procedures. Introduces new techniques and shortcuts gradually with carefully explained commands.
