Proven examples demonstrate how the equations can be applied to biological questions, and problem sets and detailed solutions challenge the student’s comprehension. Many real life examples are also included to help the reader relate the quantitative theory to the natural world.Book DescriptionIntroduction to Population

Here he does one of his best tricks: lures you into a somewhat arcane area you might know little about and explicates it so brilliantly that you don’t even realiz
