In this talk, the logistic equation without radial symmetries in circular is solved numerically. Our methods enjoy a great versatility, up to allow us to incorporate spatial heterogeneities and computing classical positive solutions, large solutions and metasolutions. We develop some of the ideas of Trefethen to discretize the Laplace operator in polar coordinates in the unit disk B1(0) and the circular annulus A(R0; R1). This is joint work with F. Prieto-Medina.
