Abstract
We begin with the most elementary idea in ecology: the growth in the number of individual organisms making up a single population. This is not to say that it is assumed that this population does not interact with other populations. Such interactions will be allowed implicitly in the way the models will be built, without explicit representation of other populations, as will be discussed.
