Hi,

I am new to R.  I am trying to plot the decay of a population over time
(0-50yrs).  I have the initial population value (5000) and the mortality
rate (0.26/yr) and I can't figure out how to apply this so I get a remaining
population value each year.  In excel (ignoring headings) I would put 5000
in A1, in B2 I would enter the formula A1*0.26, and then in A2 (the next
years population) I would subtract B2 from A1.  I would continue this
process untill I had calculated the population for the 50th year.  Any ideas
of how to do this in R?  :-/
