==Evolution and Populations==
Organic evolutionists began to use [[mathematical models]] to investigate the properties of evolution in the first quarter of the 20th Century. The aim of the effort was to take the micro-scale properties of individuals and [[genes]], scale them up to a [[population]] of individuals and deduce the long run evolutionary consequences of the assumed micro level processes. [[Empiricists]] have a handle on both the micro scale processes and the long run results, but not on what happens over many generations in between. Moreover, human [[Intuition (knowledge)|intuition]] is not so good at envisioning the behavior of populations over long spans of time. Hence [[mathematics]] proved an invaluable aid.
