The eleventh and final installment of the functional equations course can be described in two ways:
From one perspective, I talked about conditional entropy, mutual information, and a very appealing analogy between these concepts and the most basic primary-school Venn diagrams.
From another, it was about diversity across a metacommunity, that is, an ecological community divided into smaller communities (e.g. geographical sites).
The notes begin on page 44 here.
