This course will provide an overview of mathematical models and concepts in evolutionary dynamics. We will cover models of evolution in infinitely sized populations (replicator dynamics and adaptive dynamics) and models of evolution in finitely sized populations (Moran and Wright–Fisher processes) with several biological applications including the evolution of cooperation and conflict.
- Recommended Prep:
