The biodiversity crisis is one of our most urgent problems. This book develops the mathematics behind the measurement of diversity, spanning a great breadth of subjects: from geometry to logic, from algebra to probability theory. The mathematical prerequisites are few, accessible to mathematicians and biologists with a mathematical background.

Assuming little mathematical background, this short introduction to category theory is ideal for beginning graduate students or advanced undergraduates learning category theory for the first time. Suitable for independent study or as a course book, it gives extensive explanations of the key concepts along with hundreds of examples and exercises.
