Education facts
Code: 1BG383
In this course, you will learn how to build, analyse and interpret mathematical models that are motivated by questions from ecology and evolutionary biology. More specifically, you will learn standard population dynamical and population genetics models and the necessary mathematical tools to analyse them. The course consists of lectures, home assignments and tutorials and you might want to take it while doing your degree project. The home assignments consist of problems that can be solved with paper and pencil and of small simulation projects coded in R. The meetings take place on Tuesdays 17:00-20:00 but one meeting takes place on a Thursday 17:00-20:00.
