Rice, S.H. 2004. Evolutionary Theory.

 

A short book ideal for someone interested in the fundamental principles of the theory evolution and the basic mathematical structure of the theory.

 

The first chapters cover population genetics; selection, mutations, drift, and how to combine these mechanisms with diffusion theory.

 

The other half of the book covers the evolution of the phenotype; quantitative genetics, game theory, multilevel selection, evo-devo.

 

The maths required; not much, basic calculus, some linear algebra.
