Ecological research is becoming increasingly quantitative, yet students often opt out of courses in mathematics and statistics, unwittingly limiting their ability to carry out research in the future.

(British Ecological Society, 1 April 2013) The book is written in a style that is easy to read and for which one quickly forgets that the examples are essentially mathematical in nature.
