| Abstract | Massively parallel programming languages, like StarLogo, provide a rich environment for introducing differential equations to students with an unsophisticated mathematical background. This paper describes the basic software for stimulating and monitoring various population dynamics. Simple differential equations that describe the observed dynamics are introduced. The same environment is then used to explore solutions to the differential equations using Euler's method. Many solutions can be displayed simultaneously and viewed as a flow, which is easier to understand than the more traditional slope fields. All software is written in StarLogo, a massively parallel version of Logo, and can be easily modified, thus permitting students to embark on their own explorations. (Contains 10 references.)
