Description

Explore the intersection of mathematics and biology with this foundational text from Cambridge University Press. Evolution and the Theory of Games applies the principles of game theory, originally designed for economic analysis, to the study of evolving populations. This book introduces the concept of an evolutionarily stable strategy, which is essential for understanding biological scenarios where the optimal actions of an animal or plant depend on the behaviors of others. This work provides a comprehensive account of the theory and the data that supports it. It offers testable predictions regarding the evolution of behavior, genetic systems, sex, and life history patterns. Designed for senior undergraduate and graduate students, this book serves as a vital resource for those studying biological sciences and the mathematical models that explain how life adapts and survives in complex environments.
