Abstract
We now turn to one of the simplifications of the 30,654 variable computer simulation model. Donald Ludwig, of the Mathematics Department, university of British Columbia, after hearing a non-mathematical presentation of the budworm-forest simulation research, captured the basic dynamics of the system in a system of three differential equations, using only three variables! With contributions from Dixon Jones, also a mathematician at U.B.C. and the ecologist CS. Holling, this evolved into an insightful model.
