À propos de ce produit

Product Information

This book traces the history of population dynamics. It details the problems that scientists face when governments ask them for reliable predictions to help control epidemic, manage renewable resources, or anticipate demographic evolutions such as aging.

From the reviews:"Bacaër has done an excellent job of selecting an interesting and coherent set of mathematical problems in population dynamics, which has resulted in an accessible volume of just the right size. The book should be equally at home in an academic library, on a teacher's or professor's resource shelves, or even in the bathroom pile at home. To anyone with an interest in mathematics and the dynamics and implications of population growth, I recommend this excellent and delightful book" (SIAM, December 2011)This brief book is largely a translation of the French 2008 work with some small changes. Bacaer (IRD, Institut de recherche pour le developpement, France) provides 26 stories about mathematical population models, including biographical information about their creators or popularizers … . The mathematics goes down smoothly with the story. This would be an ideal book for an undergraduate seminar. For the teacher, it is also an ideal source for short tales that will enliven lectures. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals. (P. Cull, Choice, Vol. 48 (9), May, 2011)The book contains a wonderful collection of topics that illustrate applications of mathematics to solving various problems in population biology and population growth, demography and epidemiology. … models considered have been thoughtfully investigated and widely used in applications, and their numerous modifications have been suggested and studied. … model construction are explained in a way that is clear to those with little mathematical preparation, but still interesting to mathematicians. … equations are explained in detail, which makes the discussion understandable for a general audience. (Natali Hritonenko, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2011)Nicolas Bacaër has written a charming book in which he invites us into his study for an entertaining tour of historical problems in population dynamics and the mathematicians who worked on them. … the chapters would be suitable for bright high school students or teachers in search of interesting mathematical problems with real relevance to humankind. … The book should be equally at home in an academic library, on a teacher's or professor's resource shelves … . I recommend this excellent and delightful book.­­­ (Rebecca Tyson, SIAM Review, Vol. 53 (4), 2011), From the reviews:This brief book is largely a translation of the French 2008 work with some small changes.
