ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): 0 OR 3.00 (depends on study program) Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.

Short description:

The aim is to learn basis of mathematical modelling in biology using NetLogo programming language and translating description of biological problems into mathematical and programming languages.The lecture will be illustrated by basics ecological models. YTheir features will be disccused. Basic information from mathematics and computer use are recommended.
Full description:

Modelling in biology. Mathematics as an language for natural sciences. Description of time and space in mathematical models. Statictical or empirical models. Vollenweide'sr model as an example. Habitat models on example of scenariuos Vistulla valley transformations. Model LARCH and RAMAS. NetLogo as a usful programming tool. Population growth - linear, exponential and logistic model. Deterministic chaos. Stochastic models of small populations. Stability - its mathematical formulation and ecological interpretations. Are ecological systems stable? Stability and complexity question. Dynamics of two competing population. Predator-prey system dynamics. Oscillations and limit cycles. Models of matter cycling in ecosystems. Phosporus cycling in a lake as an example of ecosystem's functioning model. Forest dynamics models. Cellural automata. Individual-based modeling and its differences with classical modeling. Fractal modelling - unitary and modular organisms. Speciation and extinction of species.
