Transcriber's Note

This book makes extensive use of page references. To assist the reader, page markers in the forms "pg-ix", "pg193" & "px-3" have been included in the right margin at points corresponding closely to the tops of the original pages. These may be searched for to locate the material referred to. In the main section, these page markers are always given with 3 digits including, if necessary, leading zeroes.

This book contains a large number of line drawn illustrations which are un-credited. As these cannot be rendered here in the original manner they have been reproduced as well as possible in the manner known as "ASCII art".

A number of transcription errors were found in the original book. As these were clearly not part of the Author's intention they have, as far as possible, been identified and corrected in accordance with the methods given by the Author. These corrections are listed here below with their locations and original text. In these notes the word 'natural' identifies a letter symbol occurring without a prime mark.

In the original book at the top of page 97, the following text occurred:

[N.B. The numbers at the foot of each page indicate the pages where the corresponding matter may be found.]

In accordance with the un-paged medium here this has been changed to:

[N.B. Reference tags for Examples, Answers & Solutions will be found in the right margin.]

The part of the book to which this relates contains, by sections, "Examples" (Exercises for the student), "Answers" (to the Examples) & "Solutions" (Worked Answers). All Example sections have corresponding Answer sections. For Sections 2 & 3, worked Solutions are not supplied; for Sections 4-7, Solutions are given by 2 different methods. In association with this, the original text contained editorial notes at the foot of each page giving the page numbers for the related Sections. In this version, these notes are replaced with marginal tags such as EX3, AN4, SL5, & SL6-A and SL7-B which are placed at the top of each Section to identify the current location. As with page tags, these may be searched for to locate the material refered to. (A search for "SL4" should find successively both "SL4-A" & "SL4-B".) These tags are unique regardless of case.
