This course covers mathematical models of evolution. Both stochastic and deterministic models will be discussed. Topics will include evolutionary game theory, structured populations and adaptive dynamics. Applications include the origin of cooperation and the evolution of virulence. Three term hours; lectures. (3.0 credit units)
