Cannibalism and Chaos in the Classroom
Abernethy, Gavin M.; McCartney, Mark
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, v48 n1 p117-129 2017
Two simple discrete-time models of mutation-induced cannibalism are introduced and investigated, one linear and one nonlinear. Both form the basis for possible classroom activities and independent investigative study. A range of classroom exercises are provided, along with suggestions for further investigations.
