Abstract

Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors are usually taught toward the middle of the semester and this modulo can be implemented right after the topics of diagonalization. Comparing to the other modulo, students will see applications of some advance topics. This also shows one quick application of eigenvalues and eigenvectors in environmental science. There are different types of modeling for the population growth but in this modulo we will introduce the Leslie type’s matrix to model population. More appropriately, this modulo belongs to the realm of “population ecology”.
