Bøker av David P. Smith

The new edition of this classic book collects the founding works of mathematical demography from Roman times to the late Twentieth Century, updates commentaries by the editors and illustrates the deep roots and continuing vitality of mathematical demography.

This book is intended as a relatively nontechnica1 introduction to eurrent demographie methods. Finally, I have tried to make the principal methodologies of the book accessible, by offering explanations for formulas that are not obvious, by keeping examples to the forefront, and by placing relatively specialized topics in ehapter appendices.
