Descripción
Sumario:This article provides an example of interdisciplinary work involving applied mathematics, ecology, and education. It describes the process of developing a population model for Pacific walruses (Odobenus rosmarus) based on biological and ethological data, as well as the effects of climate change on their environment. We describe the reasoning at each stage of the modeling step by step, then simulate it with the RStudio software and interpret the results. We believe that this work can serve as an example of the pedagogical tools required for the teaching of applied mathematics in relation to current environmental problems, allowing theoretical mathematical results to be given concrete meaning.
