All comments are welcome! Good comments will be acknowledged in a second edition, that is approved by Cambridge University Press and scheduled around 2011. A paperback version of the book (ISBN 978-0-521-10873-7) is now 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.
