Lesson 7: Populations with Harvesting and ode45

The objective of this lesson is to use Matlab to model populations such as fish in a lake where it is either harvested or stocked. We would like to be able to determine if the harvesting rate is so large such that the fish population will approach zero. We will use Matlab's command ode45 to solve a variation of the logistic differential equation.
