This course provides an introduction to understanding, creating and analyzing mathematical models in ecology. We will cover different types of mathematical models, as well as their components, with a focus on foundational models in ecology, such as the Leslie population model, the Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model and SIR disease models. By the end of the course, you will be able to formulate and modify equations, and create diagrams to describe well-defined ecological processes. Finally, you will be able to use simple algebra and R to explore model results. No prior experience is required.
