Syllabus
Population models, in particular competition, symbiosis and predator-prey models.
Stationary states and their stability, periodic solutions, Hopf bifurcation.
Models of chemical (biochemical) reactions, simple epidemic models.
Annotation
Simple models of one and more populations and chemical (biochemical) reactions will be discussed. Ordinary and partial differential equations will be successively used..Elementary as well as serious open problems will be formulated.
