In this lecture, we continue our discussion of basic numerical methods (implemented in Excel) to simulate (deterministic) dynamical systems. We start with the bacterial example with only births (reproduction events) and add in deaths. We then discuss the effect of changing the time step ("dt"). We then conclude with an in-class exercise simulating the trajectory of a toilet filling up after a flush.
