Description for The Mathematics Behind Biological Invasions
Hardback. Series: Interdisciplinary Applied Mathematics. Num Pages: 378 pages, 87 black & white illustrations, 19 colour illustrations, 16 colour tables, biography. BIC Classification: PBKJ; PBT; PBWR. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 166 x 245 x 26. Weight in Grams: 724.
This book investigates the mathematical analysis of biological invasions. Unlike purely qualitative treatments of ecology, it draws on mathematical theory and methods, equipping the reader with sharp tools and rigorous methodology. Subjects include invasion dynamics, species interactions, population spread, long-distance dispersal, stochastic effects, risk analysis, and optimal responses to invaders. While based on the theory of dynamical systems, including partial differential equations and integrodifference equations, the book also draws on information theory, machine learning, Monte Carlo methods, optimal control, statistics, and stochastic processes. Applications to real biological invasions are included throughout. Ultimately, the book imparts a powerful principle: that ... Read more
