I have a deep interest in math, and when asked about what we would like to learn more of in our Ecology unit, I obviously wanted to know about math, so I found a playlist on youtube with about a day and a half worth of lectures from a UC Irvine Professor on mathematical modeling biology and ecology. They are done by UCI's Professor of Math and Biology, German A. Enciso, Ph.D. I was able to watch half of the Intro lecture in the time provided. Since the videos are published by UCI's educational youtube account and are presented by a qualified professor, I am able to consider the info credible.
In the beginning of this video, I learned how to model an equation for exponential growth in a population using differentials. This can be used for population growth and bacterial growth. When it comes to mathematics, I enjoy a neatly structured lesson like this one. It helps me follow the linear pattern of this type of math. This video appealed to my interest in advanced math and its application. It made the complex concepts easy to follow. The only hard thing was the audio, the marginal quality mixed with a European accent makes it difficult to understand at points.
