The 2018 Fall Seminar Series at the School of Natural Resources began with a presentation on population modeling of white perch at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Hardin Hall on Nebraska East Campus at the corner of 33rd and Holdrege streets, Lincoln.
Dr. Richard Rebarber, professor of mathematics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, delivered the presentation on population dynamics and mathematical ecology. Rebarber earned his doctorate in mathematics in 1984 from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and spent the first 20 years of his career in Nebraska working on Control Theory. More recently his work has shifted to working with biologists on population dynamics.
