Tutorial

When I was teaching Ecological Models Class in the Department of Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology at University of California Santa Barbara, I wrote a basic Matlab tutorial (in pdf). I have been asked for it a couple of times, so I put it here up for downloading. Feel free to use it (give me credit). I think that a more updated version was created in later years by Roger Nisbet.

PhD Thesis
