MIA: Martin Nowak, Evolutionary Dynamics

April 25th, 2018 MIA Meeting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuECCmT1Ioo&index=18&list=PLlMMtlgw6qNjROoMNTBQjAcdx53kV50cS Martin Nowak Director, Program for Evolutionary Dynamics, Harvard University Evolutionary Dynamics Abstract: Biological evolution describes how populations of individuals change over time. The three fundamental principles of evolution are mutation, selection and cooperation. I will present the mathematical formalism of evolution focussing on stochastic processes. I will discuss amplifiers and suppressors of natural selection, evolutionary game theory and evolutionary graph theory.
