Evolutionary Game Theory, Natural Selection, and Darwinian Dynamics

Zusatztext Review of the hardback: 'The book is written in an enthusiastic style. In several places you can still perceive the excitement the authors must have felt when they embarked on their work in evolutionary dynamics ? a must-read for those interested in the history of evolutionary game theory ?' www.PalArch.nl Klappentext First published in 2005, this book investigates many topics in natural selection within the context of Darwinian dynamics and evolutionary game theory. Zusammenfassung In this 2005 book! many topics in natural selection are investigated including co-evolution! speciation! and extinction. It may be described as a book on mathematical Darwinism. Darwin used logical verbal arguments to understand evolution. These arguments are presented here in a mathematical setting useful for both understanding evolution and allowing for prediction as well.
