    1. A closed interval, denoted by square brackets, means the endpoints are included in the interval. For example, [50,150][50,150][50, 150] in Table 11.1 is a closed interval with endpoints 50 and 150. There are 7 population units with biomass (Mg/ha) that fall within this interval. A closed interval can also be written using ≤≤\le notation, e.g., [50,150]={50≤y≤150}[50,150]={50≤y≤150}[50, 150]=\{50 \le y \le 150\}. An open interval, denoted by parentheses, means the endpoints are not included in the interval. Following from open and closed notation, a half-open interval includes only one of its endpoints, and is denoted by one parentheses and one square bracket, e.g., there are 8 units that fall within the half-open interval (150,250](150,250](150,250] or {150<y≤250}{150<y≤250}\{150 < y \le 250\}.

      I think this was mentioned in a previous chapter, maybe when building stand and stock tables. Perhaps it's a good idea to mention it again, but I thought I'd point it out.

    1. For example n∑i=1xiyi=x1y1+x2y2+…+xnyn,(10.8)(10.8)∑i=1nxiyi=x1y1+x2y2+…+xnyn,\begin{equation} \sum^n_{i=1}x_iy_i = x_1y_1 + x_2y_2 + \ldots + x_ny_n, \tag{10.8} \end{equation} which, following PEMDAS, we recognize multiplication of xixix_i and yiyiy_i should come before the summation.

      This isn't a sentence. Is it supposed to be?

    2. Similarly, for example, when i=2i=2i = 2 then xixix_i equals 1, when i=3i=3i = 3 then xixix_i equals 5, and so on.

      This could be rewritten as "Similarly, for example, when i = 2, xi equals 1; when i = 3, xi equals 5; and so on."
