Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, we are concerned with modeling population growth. Typically, we start the population with a single individual. This individual has a random number of offspring. Each child has itself a number of offspring and so on. The first question is about survival. Can such a process survive forever? Can we compute the survival probability? In order to be able to do computations, we will make two assumptions.
