"The papers in this volume celebrate Samuel Karlin's contributions to mathematical evolutionary theory."--Page vii.

Evolutionary Theory is for graduate students, researchers, and advanced undergraduates who want an understanding of the mathematical and biological reasoning th

Over the last several decades, mathematical models have become central to the study of social evolution, both in biology and the social sciences. But students i

The central role of mathematical modeling in modern evolutionary theory has raised a concern as to why and how abstract formulae can say anything about empirica

Thirty years ago, biologists could get by with a rudimentary grasp of mathematics and modeling. Not so today. In seeking to answer fundamental questions about h
