Welcome!  We will meet from 9:00 to 10:20 on Wednesday and Friday mornings.  We begin on Wednesday, January 6, 2010 in FSH 136.  A map to the Fishery Sciences Building is here.  Please bring a thumb drive with at least 500 MB of free space to the first class so we can install R on it.

Our required course text is:

McCune, B., and J.B. Grace. 2002. Analysis of ecological communities. MjM Software Design, Gleneden Beach. ISBN: 0-9721290-0-6

The following text is not required but is highly recommended, particularly for those who are not familiar with R:

Dalgaard, P. 2002. Introductory statistics with R. Springer, New York, NY. ISBN: 0-387-95475-9

Both books are on order at the UW bookstore and can also be purchased online.
