This course provides an introduction to how simulations and models are used in environmental studies. Topics will include the use of deterministic and stochastic models applied at individual, community, and ecosystem levels. Students will gain proficiency in using the R programming environment. Students will receive credit for BIO 3016 or ENV 3016, not both. These courses may substitute for each other in the F-replacement policy.
Prerequisite: MTH 1023, MTH 1030, FSPM 1023, FSPM 1031 & one term of college-level biology or environmental studies course with laboratory (BIO 1012, BIO 1016, BIO 2010, BIO 3001, ENV 1004, ENV 3001); BIO/ENV 2100, STA 2000, STA 2100, PSY 2100 is
