Mathematical population genetics, 1.. Theoretical introduction

Population genetics occupies a centralrole in a number of important biological and social undertakings. Itis fundamental toourunderstandingof evolutionary processes, of plant and animal breeding programs, and of various diseases of particular importance to mankind. This is the first of a planned two-volume work discussing the mathematical aspects ofpopulation genetics, with an emphasis onthe evolutionary theory.This first volume draws heavilyfrom the author's classic 1979edition, whichappeared originally in Springer'sBiomathematics series.It has beenrevised and expanded to include recent topics which follow naturally from the treatment in the earlier edition,e.g., the theory of molecular population genetics. Thisbook will appeal to graduate students and researchers inmathematical biology and other mathematically- trained scientists looking to enter the field of population genetics.
