Family Trees: A Mathematician’s Perspective
8 April @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm
Random trees have fascinated mathematicians for over 150 years. This talk will give a historical introduction to the field, starting from its not-so-humble beginning as a means to understand vanishing aristocratic surnames!
Find out what interests today’s mathematicians about random family trees and genealogies and their links to modern theories in population genetics and evolution.
