Notation	Definition
$p_a$	Probability that a newborn descends from a parent of age a
$M_a$	Number of individuals of age a
$G$	Expected generation time
$M$	Effective age-class size
$\overrightarrow{r}={\left(r_a\right)}_{a=1}^{a_{max}}$	Relative reproductive success, where $r_a$ is the relative reproductive success at age a
$W_{i,j}$	Expected value of $r_i\cdot r_j$ conditioned on survival to age j ($j\ge i$)
$W$	Weighted average of $W_{i,j}$
$V$	Reproductive variance
