The eminent Italian mathematician Vito Volterra played a decisive and widely acknowledged role in these developments. Volterra‘s interest in the application of mathematics to the non physical sciences, and to biology and economics in particular, dates back to the turn of the century and was expressed in his inaugural address at the University of Rome for the academic year 1900/01 (VOLTERRA 1901). Nevertheless, it was only in the mid-twenties that Volterra entered the field in person, at the instigation of his son in law, Umberto D‘Ancona, who had confronted him with the problem of competition among animal species, asking him whether a mathematical treatment was possible. From that time on, until his death in 1940, Volterra produced a huge output of publications on the subject. Volterra‘s specific project was to transfer the model and the concepts of classical mechanics to biology, constructing a sort of "rational mechanics" and an "analytic mechanics" of biological associations. The new subject was thus to be equippe | | 出版日期 | Book 2002 | | 关键词 | Biomathematik; Mathematikgeschichte; Modellierung biologischer Systeme; Volterra; biology; mathematics | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-0348-8123-4 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-0348-9447-0 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-0348-8123-4Series ISSN 1421-6329 Series E-ISSN 2296-6080 | | issn_series | 1421-6329 | | copyright | Springer Basel AG 2002 |
