Foundations of mathematical genetics

the long version

"In this second edition of his classic work Foundations of Mathematical Genetics A. W. F. Edwards gives a definitive account of the basic models of deterministic population genetics together with their historical background. Existing texts in mathematical genetics reveal a continuing need for a careful study of the foundations which this book satisfies, treating the simple deterministic models for random-mating diploid populations in depth without sacrificing clarity of expression. In the new edition, coverage has been extended with the provision of a new chapter on the Fundamental Theorem of Natural Selection." "This book is intended for those interested in the mathematical aspects of genetics, ecology and biology."--BOOK JACKET.
