Abstract

The following definitions are intended only as an informal description. Other sources should be consulted for definitive meanings. Our objective is simply to provide a rapid, if approximate, way for the reader to return to the main part of the book without needing to resort to another text or an online resource. The definitions often depend on other definitions; terms that are used in one definition and are defined separately are indicated in a separate font like this. Many terms are defined fully in the text, and the index provides pointers to these explications. If a term is not found here, consult the index next.
