Population Growth

After reviewing the homework, we did a simulation for students to experience what it is like to sample a population using the mark and recapture technique. We also discussed sources of error and how much confidence they had in their total population sizes. Moving forward we compared linear population growth with exponential population growth.

Homework: Read sections 35.2 and 35.3. Answer the concept check questions for each section. This counts for two homeworks, so make sure you do it!
