The work is focused on population dynamics and ecology, following a tradition that goes back to Lotka and Volterra, and includes a part devoted to the spread of infectious diseases, a field where mathematical modeling is extremely popular. These themes are used as the area where to understand different types of mathematical modeling and the possible meaning of qualitative agreement of modeling with data. The book also includes a collections of problems designed to approach more advanced questions. This material has been used in the courses at the University of Trento, directed at students in their fourth year of studies in Mathematics. It can also be used as a reference as it provides up-to-date developments in several areas.La Matematica per il 3+2,2038-5722 ;79BiomathematicsEcology Applied mathematicsEngineering mathematicsMathematical and Computational Biologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M31000Theoretical Ecology/Statisticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19147Applications of Mathematicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13003Biomathematics.Ecology .Applied mathematics.Engineering mathematics.Mathematical and Computational Biology.Theoretical Ecology/Statistics.Applications of Mathematics.570.285Iannelli Mimmoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut149805Pugliese Andreaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299973103321An Introduction to Mathematical Population Dynamics2528332UNINA
