You will learn to:
Understand modeling and simulations.
Create John Conway's Game of Life.
Run the Lotka-Volterra model.
Make epidemiology modeling programs.
Create interactive data visualizations.
Serve simulations in the browser.

Project Description
One of the main limitations of the current state of machine learning and deep learning is the constant need for new data. How can we make predictions when we don’t have any data available? This lack of data is more common than we would normally think.
In this project, we’ll learn about modeling and simulations and how they can be applied in various population analysis scenarios, such as understanding how diseases can spread within a community, prey/predator dynamics, and Conway’s Game of Life. Throughout the project, we will make sure that everything is interactive and shareable on the web. To do so, we will learn to use libraries such as SciPy, Matplotlib, Plotly, Streamlit, Datapane, and others.
