Math Challenge for Douglas
Douglas,
You like math, right? How would you like to work through with me some of the classical mathematics in evolutionary biology? I would be happy to go over such topics as Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the classical selection theory, migration, genetic drift, etc. -RvFvS [ December 31, 2001: Message edited by: RufusAtticus ]</p> |

The mathematics of evolution is of general interest to this forum and often misrepresented/misunderstood by creationists; please do us the favor of presenting the topic even if Douglas does not accept your offer.
Thanks, Rick |

Sounds great Rufus. Not to claim I'll actually be able to FOLLOW the math, but it'd be pretty good to see what you mean.

As a precursor to the raw stuff, here is a great site that goes over the hard science of evolutionary computing.
<a href="http://geneticalgorithms.ai-depot.com/" target="_blank">http://geneticalgorithms.ai-depot.com/</a> Everything you've ever wanted to know about GA. A lot of the sites linked to from it even have example Java programs that you can play with, if your arent up to speed on C++. |
