Abstract

The paper was designed to survey different mathematical techniques used in the study of the field of ecology, a science which deals with the study of the relationship between a species and its environment. All mathematical treatment for the investigation of ecological phenomena which was limited to considering only the interactions of different species were gathered in the paper in simplified forms. Among the types of mathematics applied to ecology were listed in the paper are differential and differences equations, matrices, graph theory, catastrope theory and systems of equations. Furthermore, all mathematical models in the paper were classified into three general types according to the number of species involved. They are : 1. a one-species model, 2. The tw0-species model, and 3. The n-species model where n is a whole number greater than two
