Compare decay rates in bacterial populations when more than one population is present.
Theory:
- Tilman’s model for resource competition (Neuhauser, Claudia. Calculus for Biology and Medicine. New Jersey: Prentice Hall, 2000. 98)
- Derivates of exponential functions (Neuhauser, Claudia. Calculus for Biology and Medicine. New Jersey: Prentice Hall, 2000. 131)
- Exponential population growth (Neuhauser, Claudia. Calculus for Biology and Medicine. New Jersey: Prentice Hall, 2000. 358)
