sequence.m is a Matlab function that runs a simulation for a discrete population model.
population.m is a Matlab function that runs a simulation for a continuous population model.
cobweb.m is a Matlab function that runs a simulation for a discrete population model and displays the simulation together with the cobweb diagram.
Leslie.m is a Matlab function that runs a simulation for a structured discrete population model.
desystem.m is a Matlab function that runs a simulation for a system of two differential equations. It is specifically set up for Michaelis-Menten kinetics.
pharm.m is a Matlab function that runs a simulation for a pharmacokinetics model in which a medication is administered through IV drip for a specific duration.
