• Lecture 3: In-Host Models for Viral Infections of Cells and Backward Bifurcation

James Watmough (University of New Brunswick)

James' material is on his website. I will add links to stuff he mentions here, for convenience.

• Lecture 1 on the simple death process.

Jacek Banasiak (University of Pretoria)

• All lectures in one file

Julien Arino (University of Manitoba)

• A lecture (from another course) on parameter identification here
• Lecture 1: The chemostat
• Lecture 2: Metapopulation models. Note: not proofread yet, definitely needs further editing
• Lecture 3: A few more random things about stoc>

Rachid Ouifki (North West University)
