Abstract
From Population modelling with M&M's, International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 40(4): 554 — 558. (2009)
Several activities in which population dynamics can be modeled by tossing M&M’s® candy are presented. Physical activities involving MandM’s can be modeled by difference equations and several population phenomena, including death and immigration, are studied.
