I came across this interesting series of YouTube videos recently. The author describes evolution from a mathematical perspective without bringing up too much maths.
The mathematics that he does introduce (even more complicated concepts) are presented in such a way that even people who are not good with maths can understand them It consists of simple formulas and computer based simulations that bring evolution alive. He starts with the idea of "existence" (things are "born" and things "die").
The YouTubes average about 10 minutes each and are easy to watch. Here is a link to them:

The YouTubes average about 10 minutes each and are easy to watch. Here is a link to them:
- Why do things exist? Setting the stage for evolution.
- How life grows exponentially
- Mutations and the First Replicators
- Simulating Competition and Logistic Growth
- Simulating Natural Selection
- What's a "selfish gene"?
- Simulating the Evolution of Aggression
- Simulating Foraging Decisions
- Simulating Green Beard Altruism
