Demography through problems (Q790756)

Most of the problems given in this book originate from the first author's pioneering research and book publications in mathematical demography. Thus, many students will welcome this problem book for a mature understanding of the subject, especially since they are helped by a balanced selection from the various fields of demography, by a well organized set up, and by sufficiently elaborated solutions to the problems. The book is divided into the following chapters: Not age-dependent populations; Life tables; Use of stable theory; Births and deaths under stability; Projection and forecasting; Stochastic population models. In order that demography beginners have a self-sufficient textbook, most of the chapters start with a short explanation of the needed concepts. The book is not only unrenouncable for every course in mathematical demography, but also a rich source of original ideas for connoisseurs.
