This is a service course designed for Wildlife Biology, Forestry, and Pharmacy majors at the University of Montana. As an applied course it affords a great opportunity to try out new methods of instruction. We use computers and graphing calculators to investigate standard models obtained from the student's areas of interest.
Students work in groups to investigate the models and present written reports on their work.
In addition to the group work and writing, the course contains a standard lecture component to introduce the concepts necessary for the investigations. here . Along with Dr. William R. Derrick I am writing a work book on the use of symbolic manipulators for the solution of Ordinary Differential Equations. We expect this book to be published by Harper and Row in the summer of 1996. I have written various pieces of code in C and Mathematica. The mesh is constructed as a solution of a pair of partial differential equations.
