Mathematical Physics, Biology and Game Theory

In the theory of evolution and natural selection, the Price equation describes how a characteristic of a population changes in frequency over time as a result of reproduction and natural selection. Such a characteristic may be a physical or behavioral trait, called a phenotype, or a particular genetic makeup, called an allele.
