He utilises basic algebra and precalculus notions which high school students would understand albeit he skips off the steps to maintain the text's relevance in the field of biology. He constantly presents phenomenological data and fits them in his theoretical framework which is an absolute delight to witness as the reader. This book is the Bible for anyone who wishes to understand the application of evolutionary game theory.
In biology, life, to coin a phrase, is the name of the game. For example, when an animal is defending a territory, or a mate, or both, it may be a hawk and act aggressively or a dove and run away, or have a mixed strategy (fight if I'm bigger, run away if I'm not). Usually, the mixed strategy is the evolutionary stable one (an individual with a different strategy can not invade).
The book uses examples from the animal kingdom of how these strategies are actually observed. It will change the way you watch animal behaviour ever after.
The book is technical and is to introduce the mathematics to bioligists. There are plenty of equations in there, so if that phases you, go for a more popular introduction.
