Abstract

Editor’s Note: In graduate school, it became too cumbersome for me to look-up equations, theorems, proofs, and problem solutions from previous courses. I had three boxes full of notes and was going on my fourth. Due to the need to reference my notes periodically, the notes became more unorganized over time. That’s when I decided to typeset them. I have been doing this for over a decade. Later in life, some colleagues asked if I could make these notes available to others (they were talking about themselves). I did. These notes can be downloaded for free from the web site http://www.repec.org/ and can be found in the Library of Congress. Note that the beginning of each chapter lists the professor’s name and aliation. Additionally, the course number, the date the course was taken, and the text book are given. The reader may also notice that I have made more use of the page space than in the previous editions of this manuscript. Hence, the book is shorter. If this causes the reader problems, then simply copy the proofs onto a blank sheet of paper � one line per algebraic manipulation. In this text, I put several algebraic manipulations on one line to save space.
