=== Calculus in Conservation ===

 
 
Caluclus is simply defined as “the study of change”. Understanding this, one can see its vast practicability and application in all fields of science and jobs. This “change” that one might study could be a change of price with respect to demand or the change of temperature with respect to green house gases. The possibilities are endless.
 
One particular field of interest is the environment and its conservation and sustainability. Here again, calculus is pivotal in the advancement and understanding of the environment. When considering the sustainability and the conservation for a particular ecosystem, one must be able to understand the dynamics of the organisms living within it. Most importantly, one must understand how much organisms, or more specifically, how many individuals of a given species that the ecosystem can sustain. This population limit, influenced by factors such as resource and space, is also known as the carrying capacity. Once understanding the carrying capacity of a particular environment, scientists and conservationists can effectively construct a plan for its future with minimal effects and consequences to its sustainability.
 
Furthermore, we can even predict the growth rate of the population, the change in number of individuals in the population per unit time. If we can determine the carrying capacity of a habitat, the instantaneous growth rate of specie and its initial population, we can derive its growth rate. A logistic growth equation can be formulated with all these parameters to determine a growth rate of population:
 
[[File:logisticequation1.gif]]
In this expression,
 
dN/dt = growth rate
 
r = instantaneous growth rate or per-capita rate of increase
 
N = the initial population
 
t = time (year)
 
K = Carrying capacity
 
(K-N)/K = the proportion of individuals that can be sustained within the carrying capacity
By dividing (K-N) by K, we put the individuals into a proportion that can be sustained in the environment. The carrying capacity is influenced by many factors including food, water, soil quality, space, breeding sites, predation and diseases. As we can see in this equation, if N is a small number with respect to K, the change in population per unit time, or growth rate, is relatively high. However, if N is close to the K, then (K-N)/K will be close to 0 and the growth rate will be of a lower number.
 
Here is an example of the logistic growth equation in action:
 
We have a population 40 bonobo chimps in a habitat that has a carrying capacity of 450 bonobo chimps and the instantaneous growth rate of these chimps is 2.5. What is the growth rate of this population? We will use the logistic growth equation and our following function will be:
 
dN/dt = (2.5)(40)((450-40)/450)
dN/dt = 91.1111111
 
The change in the number of individuals in this population per unit time (year) is 91. This means that we would expect to see this population of bonobos to grow to 131 by the following year. This kind of key information can be very important to a researcher who wishes to rehabilitate a damaged habitat.
 
As you can see with this example in the theme of conservation, calculus plays a very important role in all kinds of careers and jobs.

 
 

===The Pythagorean Theorem===

The Pythagorean Theorem can be simply explained through the equation:
<math>a^2+b^2=c^2</math>.
This theory states that the squared value of the hypotenuse (the long side of a triangle) in a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squared values of the two other sides in the right triangle. With this useful knowledge, we would be able to solve many things relating to triangles! Some people would only think that the application of this theory is only contained within a classroom, but they are wrong! The application of the Pythagorean Theorem is also extensively used in real life situations as well. Here is a simple situation where one would be able to use the Pythagorean theory to resolve his or her problem. Imagine that you are at the south-western corner of a rectangular field that stretches 5 km long and 3 km wide. You have a friend that is on the north-eastern corner of this rectangular field and you want to meet her. Would it be closer to travel along the sides of this field or to travel straight through the field towards her? We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to resolve our problem! We can diagonally split this field so that we have a right triangle. The distance (d) between us and our friend on the other corner can be expressed through the equation
<math>d^2+3^2=5^2</math>
We then use simple algebraic techniques to simplify this equation and we find that the distance (d) is only 4 km! That is twice as short of a distance compared to walking along the edge of the field.
Although this situation is relatively simple, if we can look at everyday life with the perspective of triangles, then the application of the Pythagorean Theorem in real life is limitless!

== Team Question 1 ==

The following linear equation is a model to predict the cost of producing flags of a Canton under the assumption that the marginal cost is $7 per unit and that at the current production level of 20 items, the cost is $100.:
C(F) = 7F – 40
 
[[File:plot123.gif]]
 
This model predicts that at the production of 150 items, the cost $1010.
According to this model, the average cost per item will increase as production levels increase
Models for which the average cost remains constant as production increases:
C (F) = 7F
C (F) = F

Hello, team Jura. This is Adam, your new teammate. As you may be aware, there is a team question that is posted. Please take a look and be familiar with the question. We are to write a comprehensive essay on the given problem. To complete this assignment, I propose that we each pick a few points, study those points and write a paragraph on them (ex. Someone can describe the model and find out the cost of 150 units etc.) We'll then combine our information and I'll volunteer to write up a good copy.

I have already finished the first 4 points

Describe your model.
What does your model predict for a production of 150 items?
According yo your model, what happens to the average cost per item as production levels increase?
Finally, find some other models (not necessarily linear) for which you get other behaviours such as:
The average cost remains constant as production increases.

I'll leave up to you guys to the rest. Just pick a point or two to study.
Remember, there is a group evaluation at the end. Please participate so I can give each of you guys 100% in participation marks at the end.

Alright guys, lets start this year with a blast!

According to this model, the average cost per item will increase as production levels increase
Models for which the average cost remains constant as production increases:
C (F) = 7F
C (F) = F

Hello, team Jura. This is Adam, your new teammate. As you may be aware, there is a team question that is posted. Please take a look and be familiar with the question. We are to write a comprehensive essay on the given problem. To complete this assignment, I propose that we each pick a few points, study those points and write a paragraph on them (ex. Someone can describe the model and find out the cost of 150 units etc.) We'll then combine our information and I'll volunteer to write up a good copy.

I have already finished the first 4 points

Describe your model.
What does your model predict for a production of 150 items?
According yo your model, what happens to the average cost per item as production levels increase?
Finally, find some other models (not necessarily linear) for which you get other behaviours such as:
The average cost remains constant as production increases.

I'll leave up to you guys to the rest. Just pick a point or two to study.
Remember, there is a group evaluation at the end. Please participate so I can give each of you guys 100% in participation marks at the end.

Alright guys, lets start this year with a blast!

I will do the next two points from where Adam left off tonight - that leaves the last 2 points

== Team Question 1 ==

The following linear equation is a model to predict the cost of producing flags of a Canton under the assumption that the marginal cost is $7 per unit and that at the current production level of 20 items, the cost is $100.:
C(F) = 7F – 40

==Remarks on your essay==

Hi Matthew, 
Thanks for contributing to the wiki with your essay, I liked the theme you picked. Here's some feedback for you.

* When citing your sources, consider using the <nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki> tag which produces something like this<ref>http://wiki.ubc.ca/Help:Formatting#Footnotes</ref>. If you do so, you then need to add the tag<nowiki><references/></nowiki>where you would like to see your references collected. See the code for this page to see how I did this or check the reference.
