   This is the basic paper describing DaisyWorld. Careful study of the figures shows that CourseWare's results and Watson & Lovelock's do not match exactly. However, CourseWare's results do match those of Wong, below. Technical.

   CourseWare doesn't use the Runge-Kutta methods explored in Wong's lab, but his writeup on DaisyWorld is good, and on-line. Moderately technical.
