Population Modelling with M&M's[R]
Winkel, Brian
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, v40 n4 p554-558 2009
Several activities in which population dynamics can be modelled by tossing M&M's[R] candy are presented. Physical activities involving M&M's[R] can be modelled by difference equations and several population phenomena, including death and immigration, are studied. (Contains 1 note.)
