Summary

In this first part of the book we focus on some basic tools that we will need throughout the book. We start, in Chapter 1, with a review of some mathematical basics: series, limits, integrals, counting, and asymptotic notation. Rather than attempting an exhaustive coverage, we instead focus on a select “toolbox” of techniques and tricks that will come up over and over again in the exercises throughout the book. Thus, while none of this chapter deals with probability, it is worth taking the time to master its contents.
