Introducing Mathematical Biology
About This Book
1 Single population models A first population model Our aim in this textbook is to model the dynamics of populations over time. By ‘population’ we simply mean some collection of individuals that are subject to the same underlying mechanisms. For example, we may consider the human population of Sheffield, or the tapir population of South America, or the maize crop population of a field in Nigeria. In later chapters we will move to smaller biological scales, considering perhaps less intuitive defi
