This repository contains slides for a 1h. lecture to second year Geography students introducing the field of quantitative geography.

The contents heavily rely on the following publications:

* Haggett, P. 2008. "[The Local Shape of Revolution: Reflections on Quantitative Geography at Cambridge in the 1950s and 1960s](http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1538-4632.2008.00731.x/abstract)," *Geographical Analysis*, 40, 336–352.
* Murray, A. T. 2010. "[Quantitative Geography](http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1467-9787.2009.00642.x/abstract)," *Journal of Regional Science*,
50, 1, 143-163.
