All comments are welcome! Good comments will be acknowledged in a second edition, that is approved by Cambridge University Press and scheduled around 2013. A paperback version of the book (ISBN 978-0-521-10873-7) is available.

We complement the book with a list of symbols and a set of additional exercises that is regularly extended. The solutions will be provided by email to instructors that use the book.
Unfortunately, errors have been found that are listed in the Errata.
