Abstract
These lectures review some recent decades’ research on non equilibrium statistical mechanics models of reaction and interaction kinetics. Lectures 1-4 focus on macroscopic kinetics of microscopically transport-limited interactions, while lectures 5 and 6 are concerned with discreteness and stochastic effects in reaction-diffusion fronts. The final lecture 7 considers demographic stochasticity in evolutionary population dynamics.
