| Abstract | Mathematicians have been concerned with population growth and movement since the days of Leonhard Euler and Thomas Malthus. Chapter i of this paper sketches the history of the development of the modern population theory. In Chapter II, a partial differential equation is derived which governs the growth and movement of populations in definite regions. This general fundamental equation lends itself to many applications including: roaming nomads; bacteria growth, urban growth; one specie preying upon another; and finally I have used the equation to model spawning salmon. |
