Fay, Temple H.; Greeff, Johanna C.
Mathematics and Computer Education, v33 n3 p261-69 Fall 1999
Introduces a model of differential equations for students--a very real overpopulation problem is occurring in the Ndumu Game Reserve in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, where one species of antelope, the Nyala, is crowding out another species, the Bushbuck. Constructs a competing species model to mathematically describe what is occurring in Ndumu. (ASK)
