Abstract
In this chapter we return to the concepts and ideas presented in Chapter 1, and explore in more detail the dynamics of seemingly simple dynamic population models. In the process of developing and exploring these models, you will learn more about the features of the STELLA and MADONNA software packages. The findings of this exploration should sensitize your perception of dynamic processes and help you develop your dynamic modeling skills.
Art may be said … to overcome, and advance nature, as in these Mechanicall disciplines. Wilkins, Mathematical Magick, 1648.
