Laboratory Help Page

This page is designed to provide helpful information about the laboratory questions.

This question can be considered an extension of either your work with discrete dynamical systems or with Euler's method. You will want to set up an Excel spreadsheet. In the first column you will put the values for time in your simulation. In the second column, you begin with the initial value of infected females, while in the third column, you begin with the initial value of infected males. In the second row of the second and third columns, you enter the Euler's formula that is given on your lab, inserting the parameter values given and using the values of infected males and females from the first cells. After you have done this, you simply fill down to the desired time, and the simulation is complete. All that remains is selecting particular values and creating a graph like you have done so many times before.
