Title: Branching processes
Description: "Branching processes play an increasingly important role in models of genetics, molecular biology, microbiology, ecology, and evolutionary theory. This book presents this body of mathematical ideas for a biological audience, but should also be enjoyable to mathematicians, if only for its rich stock of realistic biological examples. It can be read by anyone with a basic command of calculus, matrix algebra, and probability theory. More advanced results from basic probability theory are treated in a special appendix."--Back cover.
