Applied Mathematical Demography, Second Edition by Nathan Keyfitz is a comprehensive text that explores the mathematical foundations of demography. The book provides an in-depth analysis of demographic processes, including mortality, fertility, and population growth. It introduces various mathematical models and techniques used in demography, such as life tables, matrices, and differential equations. The book also discusses the implications of demographic changes on society, including the effects of declining death rates on the proportion of elderly people and the impact of abortions on birth rates. The book is structured into chapters that cover a wide range of topics, including the basics of population dynamics, mortality comparisons, stable population theory, reproductive value, and the demography of organizations. It also addresses more complex topics such as family demography, heterogeneity in population analysis, and the demographic theory of kinship. The text includes detailed explanations of mathematical concepts and their applications in demography, as well as case studies and examples that illustrate the practical relevance of these theories. Keyfitz emphasizes the importance of understanding demographic trends and their implications for policy-making and social planning. The book is intended for students and professionals in the fields of demography, statistics, and related disciplines. It provides a solid foundation in mathematical demography and serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the mathematical underpinnings of demographic processes. The book also includes a comprehensive bibliography and index for further reference.Applied Mathematical Demography, Second Edition by Nathan Keyfitz is a comprehensive text that explores the mathematical foundations of demography.
