Course Description
This course is a foundation course in simulation modeling that provides a broad survey of applicable methodologies for modeling a broad range of biotic and abiotic relationships.
Course Objectives
The student upon completion of this course, should be able to:
- Formulate deterministic and stochastic models describing biotic and abiotic relationships.
- Apply a systems approach to conceptualizing biological and abiotic systems.
- Translate systems conceptualizations into a mathematical description of the systems.
- Apply procedures for solving the resulting mathematical systems.
- Analyze the resulting system response.
- Apply methods for model calibration, validation and evaluation.
- Work in a team context to design, implement and evaluate a model in a group setting.
This course provides opportunities to: develop skills in the formulation of deterministic and statistical models describing biotic and abiotic relationships; develop an understanding of systems approaches to describing biological systems; develop an understanding of the analysis tools necessary to accurately simulate biological systems.
