This is a senior and graduate level course. We will be relying on a text and primary literature for information sources. Students are expected to search the primary literature and obtain multiple possible articles and then select from those articles based on the question being addressed.
There will be multiple mathematical models used in this course. All of these models will be constructed in Excel. There will be assignments that construct these models.
In class discussion will be an important method for learning and evaluating the material. Students are expected to attend class, be on time and be involved in the class. During times when we are construcing models during in-class time, students are expected to be attending to the matter at hand (not handling other on-line demands).
All work and decorum during class should be of professional quality.
The text for this class is Reynolds "Ecology of Phytoplankton".
The lecture outlines, other notes, and resources will be available at this website:
