Index

This alphabetical subject index maps concepts, theorems, methods, and named figures to the chapters where they are introduced or principally developed. Because this is a digital textbook, pointers are chapter-level; a few obvious section-level pointers are noted. Cross-references ("see" and "see also") connect synonyms and related ideas. Bold terms are primary entries; indented bullets are sub-entries.
