Summary

We are glad that the first edition of these volumes is thought to have achieved its main aim of making mathematical techniques more available, not only to mathematicians, but also to the wider scientific and engineering community.

We have been glad to take the opportunity provided by this edition to incorporate the most salient aspects of the large body of new results which have been obtained since the publication of the original edition. The incorporation of this new material has led to the need to make several significant rearrangements of the previous material.

We wish to record our gratitude for the mathematical contributions and company of Arne Magnus and Helmut Werner, both of them friends who are missed by many of us. The influence of their work is to be found in Chapter 4.

A few infelicities which have been noticed in the original edition have been corrected.
