It wouldn't hurt to read up on Lotke-Volterra equations either..

That article has some useful points for your project. Citeseer has lots of good articles and nice tutorials. Get there and search for them

link didnt work for me. i think the server is down. i found a mirror, but since i didnt know the title of the article and the /context/42049/21714 didnt match a known article on the mirror i can't make a link that works either.

i get no response when i ping citeseer.nj.nec.com i get a time out.
 
Sorry, no [www] in the URL.
 
this is with the whole 100 meter thing... if and when you take a high level calculus class, you will note that this phenom. happens. it is quite cool to see it happen with a formula, and it does converge to 1. just as they were saying 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, ... 1/n, will go to 1. sorry, had to put that in there b/c it is awesome. :smile:
