Princeton Series in Theoretical and Computational Biology⁸

Simon A. Levin, Series Editor

The Princeton Series in Theoretical and Computational Biology builds upon the existing strengths and reputation of Princeton University Press within its biology, mathematics, and computer science publishing programs. Books in this series span theoretical biology, computational biology, mathematics, and computer science as applied to problems and questions in biology.

Mathematical Properties of Population-Genetic Statistics: Quadratic Forms Most Beautiful Noah A. Rosenberg
A powerful new approach to interpreting population-genetic data in evolution and ecology
The Calculus of Selfishness Karl Sigmund
A pioneer in evolutionary game theory looks at selfishness and cooperation
Theories of Population Variation in Genes and Genomes Freddy Bugge Christiansen
This textbook provides an authoritative introduction to both classical and coalescent approaches to population genetics. Written for graduate students and advanced undergraduates by one of the world's leading authorities in the field...
Mathematical Tools for Understanding Infectious Disease Dynamics Odo Diekmann, Hans Heesterbeek, and Tom Britton
Mathematical modeling is critical to our understanding of how infectious diseases spread at the individual and population levels. This book gives readers the necessary skills to correctly formulate and analyze mathematical models in...
The Geographic Spread of Infectious Diseases: Models and Applications Lisa Sattenspiel
The 1918-19 influenza epidemic killed more than fifty million people worldwide. The SARS epidemic of 2002-3, by comparison, killed fewer than a thousand. The success in containing the spread of SARS was due largely to the rapid global...
Analysis of Evolutionary Processes: The Adaptive Dynamics Approach and Its Applications Fabio Dercole and Sergio Rinaldi
Quantitative approaches to evolutionary biology traditionally consider evolutionary change in isolation from an important pressure in natural selection: the demography of coevolving populations. In Analysis of Evolutionary Processes...
Individual-based Modeling and Ecology Volker Grimm and Steven F. Railsback
Individual-based models are an exciting and widely used new tool for ecology. These computational models allow scientists to explore the mechanisms through which population and ecosystem ecology arises from how individuals interact with...
Mathematics in Population Biology Horst R. Thieme
The formulation, analysis, and re-evaluation of mathematical models in population biology has become a valuable source of insight to mathematicians and biologists alike. This book presents an overview and selected sample of these...
