           indispensible  part  of learning the  subject  to attempt  as  many
           problems  as  possible.
                This  book  was   originally  begun  at  the  suggestion  of
           Harriet  McQuarrie.   I  thank  Ms.  Ho  Hwei   Moon   of  World
           Scientific  Publishing  Company  for  her advice and  for help with
           editorial  work.  I am  grateful  to  my  family  for  their  patience,
           and  to  my  wife  Judith  for  her  encouragement,  and  for  assis-
           tance  with  the  proof-reading.
