Mathematical Demography: Selected Papers: Demographic Research Monographs

Autor David P. Smith, Nathan Keyfitz Editat de Kenneth W. Wachter, Hervé Le Bras
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 aug 2015
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.
