Abstract

In this chapter some useful concepts and mathematical tools will be introduced which will be used throughout the book. Some readers with a less mathematical background might find some parts difficult to follow; in this case, skip the mathematical details and concentrate on the intuitive meaning of the basic concepts, which are emphasised in the text. This approach will not affect an understanding of the book.
