What will I learn?
This practical course teaches you to construct and analyse population models with straightforward mathematical methods. You'll develop discrete simulations in spreadsheets, investigate exponential and logistic growth patterns, and evaluate scenarios like habitat destruction, varying mortality rates, and conservation strategies. Master sourcing credible data, estimating vital parameters, evaluating uncertainties, and presenting findings in clear, quantitative reports to guide practical decisions.
