    Description

    The use of simple models to describe the behaviour of biological phenomena has been of great help for their understanding and has often driven researchers to new ideas. Here we will show how to go from the phenomenon to a model and what can be learned using this process. In particular, some of the following models will be introduced: the Malthus and the Verhulst growth models of population; ages-structured population and the Leslie matrix; the Kermack- McKendrick model in epidemiology; Bernoulli’s model on vaccination; the Lotka-Volterra model; the Luria-Delbrück model.
