EEMB5130 (Population Dynamics) course reviews and ratings at Northeastern (NEU). Average rating 5.0/5. Compare professors with RateMyProfessor reviews.
Offers a comprehensive overview of the mathematical and computational concepts needed to construct dynamical models. Lectures describe how to mathematically derive and model the effects of species interactions, space, disease, and environmental variability in order to understand the dynamics of populations in a changing world. Emphasizes the mathematical tools required to analyze the dynamical behavior of models (e.g., stability, invasion, graphical, and numerical analyses) and validate their predictions using empirical data (e.g., via maximum likelihood and optimization methods). Tutorials demonstrate how to implement, analyze, and test models using the free R programming language.
