This page begins the attempt of this author to offer some notes that have previously been found either on a chalkboard or an overhead projector. If you find that the notes offer a clear understanding of the underlying concepts, then this Web complex will have been worth it. Please send me e-mail if you have any suggestions or comments. If you click on an option and it doesn't connect, it is probably because that page is under heavy construction and is unavailable at the time.
