SIMIODE

We offer students the opportunity to develop several strategies for creating a population model using some simple probabilistic assumptions. These assumptions lead to a system of differential equations for the probability that a system is in state (or population size) n at time t. We go further and compare the mean population levels to the deterministic models from direct differential equations development.
