Introduction

While Team St Andrews' \Omega Squad" works to produce EPA Omega 3 Fatty Acids in the Laboratory; our \Mod Squad" motivates their endeav- ours, quantitatively. In particular, we seek to model the time evolution of human-available EPA and DHA Omega 3 Fatty Acids from the year 1950 and into the future. We will also investigate recent trends indicating in- creasing demand for these resources: due to population growth, as well as heightened awareness of the health bene�ts associated with a diet containing these Fatty Acids.

When $a \ne 0$, there are two solutions to $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ and they are $$x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}.$$
