Branching processes

variation, growth, and extinction of populations

Edición de la obra Branching processes

"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, if only for its rich stock of realistic biological examples. It can be read by anyone with a basic command of calculus, matrix algebra, and probability theory. More advanced results from basic probability theory are treated in a special appendix."--Back cover.
