Introduction to Detailed Notes
These are notes that I made on my reading of the textbook. There
is no real attempt to have comments on absolutely everything in the
book noted here. At the same time, there is supplementary material here that
is not in the book.
After writing out the notes for the first few sections, it has become clear that
there is a tendency to make this a "teaching" document. As much as possible,
efforts will be made to not do this. Rather, if there is teaching material
to be presented then that will be done in separate pages, with pointers inserted here.
