Assignment: For a given dynamical systems problem (should be stated here):

• Perform one step below to make certain your dynamical system is working properly
• Perform a small number of steps (say 5-10) and notice any drastic changes in any of the various populations
• Perform a large number of steps and notice whether the populations tend to stabilize about a given value.
• Write up your results in a text cell below. Be certain to cut-and-paste the transition matrix and initial values into another cell for me to see what you used. A copy is output below the interactive cell below for you to grab and save.
