<p>I am a master's student in computational and mathematical biology, with a bachelor's degree in pure mathematics.
I am really struggling with my computational biology course, we are supposed to study problems related to evolutionary dynamics like:
1)the rock-paper-scissors game which explains the evolution of male mating strategies in side-blotched lizards
2)fixation probability of a new mutation.
Could someone link me to some books or references that might be helpful in solving such problems?</p>

Is there any book or reference that explains evolutionary dynamics and fixation probability?

I'm fond of Joe Felsenstein's [book](https://evolution.genetics.washington.edu/pgbook/pgbook.html) on evolutionary genetics as a relatively recent source that presents a lot of these problems at a very simple level for the newer student, and then adds complexity gradually. Page 260 seems relevant.
