Zustand: Sehr gut, VIII, 240 pp. 62 figs. About this book: Our basic question is: Given a collection of DNA sequences, what underlying forces are responsible for the observed patterns of variability? To approach this question we introduce and analyze a number of probability models: the Wright-Fisher model, the coalescent, the infinite alleles model, and the infinite sites model. We study the complications that come from nonconstant population size, recombination, population subdivision, and three forms of natural selection: directional selection, balancing selection, and background selection. These theoretical results set the stage for the investigation of various statistical tests to detect departures from "neutral evolution." The final chapter studies the evolution of whole genomes by chromosomal inversions, reciprocal translocations, and genome duplication. Throughout the book, the theory is developed in close connection with data from more than 60 experimental studies from the biology literature that illustrate the use of these results. This book is written for mathematicians and for biologists alike. We assume no previous knowledge of concepts from biology and only a basic knowledge of probability: a one semester undergraduate course and some familiarity with Markov chains and Poisson processes. Rick Durrett received his Ph.D. in operations research from Stanford University in 1976. He taught in the UCLA mathematics department before coming to Cornell in 1985. He is the author of six books and 125 research papers, and is the academic father of more than 30 Ph.D. students. His current interests are the use of probability models in genetics and ecology, and decreasing the mean and variance of his golf. Written for researchers, graduate students. ISBN 038795435X

Mathematics & Economics Connections For Life Grades 3-5 By 3M Foundation; National Council On Economic Education: NCEE; Suiter, Mary; Wright, Donna; Hinchik, Susan; Masters, Marsha Strange; Wulff, Michele Product Description Are your elementary math lessons connecting with your students? Take a new approach to elementary school mathematics by adding economics lesson plans to your math curriculum. Hands-on Activities That Strengthen Elementary Math Skills You'll tap into the natural creativity of your students with fun, hands-on activities that have your students making brownies (and choices!) and building kites, all with the end result of exploring elementary economics in fun ways and sharpening your students' math skills. With Mathematics and Economics, Grades 3-5, you'll use 12 standards-based lessons that apply mathematical problem solving in the context of economics. Your students will connect with your elementary math lessons in fun ways you never thought possible. Plus, Build a Lifelong Economics Foundation In addition to reinforcing core mathematical skills, your students will explore the basic economics concepts that will prepare them to be better citizens, consumers and workers. You'll expose your students to economics principles that they'll use their entire lives. Plus, your students will be absorbed in interesting activities that help them see the relevance of mathematics and economics to everyday life. Best of all, by adding economics to your elementary math lessons, you'll spur a lifelong interest in economics, while using NCTM standards-based lesson plans that reinforce fundamental math skills.
