Here's a pdf document which I'm going to use as the basis of a practical class to introduce Simile and how it can be used to develop and analyse a model. It is aimed at undergraduate biology/ecology students whoc will have little if any programming experience and even less mathematics.

This is the first time I've written anything like this. If people see potential pitfalls in the approach or ways to improve the description to make it clearer then I'd like to hear about it.

Attached are the models (and output interfaces) from some of the chapters in the book by Hannon and Ruth.

Hannon, B & Ruth, M 1997 "Modelling dynamic biological systems" (Springer, New York)

Chapter 2 has some simple population growth models

Chapter 3 has some stochastic population growth models where death rate is a random variable

Chapter 4 has some population models with time lags that show chaotic behaviour

Chapter 7 has a model for a catalyzed reaction, which could describe enzyme dynamics.
