In writing a book, one encounters and overcomes many obstacles. Not the least of which is the occasional case of writer’s block. This is especially true in mathematics where sometimes the answer is currently and may for all time be unknown. There is nothing worse than writing yourself into a corner where your only exit is to build a door by solving unsolved problems. In any case, it is my hope that you will read this volume and come away thinking that I have overcome enough of those obstacles to make the book worthwhile. As always, your comments and criticisms are welcome. Feel free to contact me using any of the addresses listed below, although e-mail is the preferred method.
