課程簡述 In this class, I will focus on the ecological theories. Students will learn the derivation of each theoretical formula. Computer simulation models will be used to help the students to understand theories. The aim of this course is to elucidate theoretical concepts using analytical and graphical tools. I assume some background knowledge in ecology and mathematics of the undergraduate level.
