Module title:Mathematical Biology and Ecology
Module codeECM3905
Module lecturers:Prof Stuart Townley
Module credits:15

This module will give you the opportunity to learn how mathematics may be applied to the biosciences in order to quantify population and demographic phenomena. The subject matter has been selected so as to give a wide-ranging overview of the role applied mathematics has to play in the biological disciplines. Some use of software will enable you to build and analyse models using real world examples from nature. As an example, you may study the population dynamics of insects, animals or fish, or the competitive exclusion of species, and be able to draw conclusions about likely behaviours.

Prerequisite modules: “Differential Equations" (ECM2903 ) or equivalent
