Deterministic Aspects of Mathematical Demography

Mathematical Demography, the study of population and its analysis through mathematical models, has received increased interest in the mathematical com­ munity in recent years. It was not until the twentieth century, however, that the study of population, predominantly human population, achieved its math­ ematical character. The subject of mathematical demography can be viewed from either a deterministic viewpoint or from a stochastic viewpoint. For the sake of brevity, stochastic models are no
