Chapter 1
1 According to the author’s intent, every chapter is to be delivered in a single lecture. By and large, that is possible, as most of the chapters are of appropriate size (with only a few notable exceptions, where an instructor’s discretion is called for).
2 For example, in a freely accessible library within one kilometre, if not in one’s own bookshelf which is the zeroth order access!
3 In case help is needed, the reader is advised to consult and follow a textbook on calculus and analytic geometry, for example, Thomas and Finney [79], while solving these problem sets.
