Annotation -
We derive some biological models (e.g. predator-prey models, epidemiological models, population models) and apply results of the theory of ordinary differential equations to these models.

Course completion requirements -

The course is concluded with an oral exam which can be waived on the basis of ongoing homework assignments.

Last update: Bárta Tomáš, doc. RNDr., Ph.D. (23.05.2019)
Syllabus -

1. Population models (Malthusian growth model, model with capacity of environment, Lotka--Volterra predator-prey model, Holling--Tanner, Gause's model with a shelter).

2. Epidemiologic models (SIR, SLIAR, SIR with space variable).

3. Replicator dynamics.

Entry requirements -

The course is a good supplement to the course Ordinary differential

equations NMMA333. We recommend the students who are not acquainted with

basic theory of ordinary differential equations to attend the course

NMMA706 instead.
