Description

This course is an introduction to applications and integration of dynamical systems and game theory to model population and ecological dynamics and evolutionary processes. Topics include Lotka-Volterra systems, non-cooperative games, replicator dynamics and genetic mechanisms of selection and mutation, and other adaptive systems.

Attend lectures and complete the substantial homework assignments. There will also be a midterm test and the final exam.

Intended Audience:

Applied math and other theoretically and mathematically minded natural science and engineering students. Students of biology, ecology, economics and other social sciences, natural resources, bioengineering, and bioinformatics—with suitable math backgrounds—are especially welcome.

Prerequisites: Equivalent of four semesters of calculus (especially familiarity with differential equations) and working knowledge of elementary linear algebra and probability.

Class Format:

As a DC (Distance due to COVID) course, all aspects of this course will be fully compatible with remote online learning. This course will require synchronous participation.
