From the reviews: "The book was developed out of lectures held by the author and, true to its intention, is very self-contained. It contains definitions for all used mathematical notions and relies only on basic math and simple arguments to make its points. ... To reinforce the material, each chapter contains a small number of exercises, which are typically rather simple to solve and can perfectly be used to self-test. ... the textbook contains an extensive bibliography that can serve as a starting point for individual research."
