Abstract
This chapter contains some of the background material that will be used throughout this book. The goal of this chapter is to fill in certain small gaps for the reader who already has some familiarity with this background material. This should also indicate how much we assume the reader already knows, and should serve to fix some notation and conventions. Accordingly, explanations will be kept to a minimum; the reader may consult the references given at the end of the book for a thorough introduction to the material. This chapter also contains several exercises, for use both by instructors and readers wishing to make sure they understand the basics. The reader may want to begin by glancing casually through this chapter, leaving a thorough reading of a section for when it is needed.
