Introduction to the development and use of computer programs to address biological problems. Topics include the development of programs to analyse ecological data, models of population dynamics, deterministic chaos, cellular automata, simulations of foraging behaviour and evolutionary computation. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 2600 or permission of the Department.Lectures two hours per week, workshop three hours per week.
