This book equips engineers and physical scientists to make biologically relevant quantitative representations of evolutionary processes. The concepts of evolution are introduced via semi-quantitative treatment with graphical illustrations and explain how evolution experiments are conducted in a laboratory.

Features:
• Discusses background, concepts of evolutionary biology, and experimental evolution.
• Helps readers develop a geometric view of evolutionary processes.
• Covers both biological and mathematical foundations in equal measure.
• Illustrates coding exercises supported by pertinent MATLAB codes for the provided problems.
• Includes homework problems and a solutions manual.

This book is aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate students in engineering and physical sciences. 4aBioscience 4aEngineering & Technology 4aEnvironment & Agriculture 4aLife sciences 4aMethods and tools in biosciences and medicine
