| Summary, etc |
Biology takes a special place among the other natural sciences because biological units, be they pieces of DNA, cells or organisms, reproduce more or less faithfully. As for any other biological processes, reproduction has a large random component. The theory of branching processes was developed especially as a mathematical counterpart to this most fundamental of biological processes. This active and rich research area allows us to make predictions about both extinction risks and the development of population composition, and also uncovers aspects of a population's history from its current genetic composition. Branching processes play an increasingly important role in models of genetics, molecular biology, microbiology, ecology and evolutionary theory. This book presents this body of mathematical ideas for a biological audience, but should also be enjoyable to mathematicians.<br/><br/> Important for all fields in biology: written with a broad scope<br/> Important for mathematicians, in particular probabilists, statisticians and applied mathematicians<br/> Of interest for PhD students as well as established scientists<br/> Contains contributions from many eminent and well-known scientists<br/><br/>(http://www.cambridge.org/us/academic/subjects/life-sciences/evolutionary-biology/branching-processes-variation-growth-and-extinction-populations?format=PB) |
