About this title

Synopsis

""Mathematical Contributions To The Theory Of Evolution: On Further Methods Of Determining Correlation"" is a book written by Karl Pearson and published in 1907. The book is a part of Pearson's extensive work on the application of mathematical methods to the study of evolution. In this book, Pearson discusses the concept of correlation and its importance in evolutionary studies. He proposes new methods for determining correlation, including the use of regression analysis and the coefficient of correlation. The book also includes a detailed discussion of the statistical methods used in evolutionary studies, including the use of standard deviation and the normal distribution. Overall, ""Mathematical Contributions To The Theory Of Evolution"" is an important work in the history of evolutionary theory, as it helped to establish the use of statistical methods in the field and contributed to the development of modern evolutionary biology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
