Probability models of conception and birth.Mathematical demography is the centerpiece of quantitative social science. The founding works of this field from Roman times to the late Twentieth Century are collected here, in a new edition of a classic work by David R. Smith and Nathan Keyfitz. Commentaries by Smith and Keyfitz have been brought up to date and extended by Kenneth Wachter and Hervé Le Bras, giving a synoptic picture of the leading achievements in formal population studies. Like the original collection, this new edition constitutes an indispensable source for students and scientists alike, and illustrates the deep roots and continuing vitality of mathematical demography.Demographic research monographs.DemographyMathematical modelsDemographyMathematical models.304.6015118Smith David63514Keyfitz Nathan1913-2010.104369Wachter Kenneth W253847Le Bras Herve517107MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910739487103321Mathematical demography4198588UNINA
