Simulating Ecological and Evolutionary Systems in C
par Will Wilson, 2000, Cambridge University Press, New York, NY, 301 pages, Amazon 

  • Cet ouvrage présente de nombreux modèles classiques de dynamique de population (logistique, Lotka-Volterra, Lotka-Volterra dans l’espace, reaction-diffusion, etc.). L’avantage de ce livre est que pour chaque modèle le code en langage C est inclus et chaque ligne de code est expliquée en détails. Les changements de dynamique des modèles suivant des changements de paramètres sont aussi explorés. (EF)
