An Introduction to Mathematical Population Dynamics Along the trail of Volterra and Lotka /

This book is an introduction to mathematical biology for students with no experience in biology, but who have some mathematical background. The work is focused on population dynamics and ecology, following a tradition that goes back to Lotka and Volterra, and includes a part devoted to the spread of...
