Taking a Step Back
This week we worked on understanding in detail the behavior of one of the steady state solutions for Model 2s (the model where both producers and scroungers die linearly and …
Scroungers Report
This week consisted of making more models with the goal of finding one in which producers, scroungers and food coexist and are stable with the logic that: Producers find food …
Just like us, u_2 can do it!
This week we focused on deriving the velocity function u which we had realized was made of two components u=(u1,u2) . As we had learned before the first component u1=0 …
Scroungers Progress Report #Scroungers
This week we worked on different ordinary differential equation models to help us understand the interactions between scroungers, producers and prey. In this process we learned how to interpret models …
Streaming through Week 2
Towards the beginning of the week, our team decided to take a closer look at some of the literature provided to us in order to understand some context to the …
Week 2: Starting Research Projects
Goals: Further practice with Mathematica Learn to use LaTeX for typing mathematics Start work on individual research problems Our Research Teams: Pattern Formation in Animal Foraging (#scroungers) with Nessy Tania …
