Hardy-Weinberg法则是生物群体遗传学里最有意思的一个“定律“, 甚至可以说是基石。
From Wikipedia:
Godfrey Harold "G. H." Hardy FRS (7 February 1877 – 1 December 1947) was an English mathematician, known for his achievements in number theory and mathematical analysis.
In biology, Hardy is known for the Hardy–Weinberg principle, a basic principle of population genetics.
In addition to his research, Hardy is remembered for his 1940 essay on the aesthetics of mathematics, entitled A Mathematician's Apology. He was the mentor of the Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan.
....Hardy is also known for formulating the Hardy–Weinberg principle, a basic principle of population genetics, independently from Wilhelm Weinberg in 1908. He played cricket with the geneticist Reginald Punnett who introduced the problem to him, and Hardy thus became the somewhat unwitting founder of a branch of applied mathematics.
