Online resources

Apart from small differences (mainly concerning copy editing and figures), the online editions should have the same content as the print edition. However, we are planning to fix errata in the online editions every few months or so.

The following materials are available online. The date of last update is given in parentheses.

• HTML edition (2008.06.01)
• PDF of the book for online viewing (with nice hyperlink features, 2008.07.12)
• PDF of the book for printing (2008.05.27)
• PDFs of individual chapters (2008.05.27)
• slides (2009.01.01)
• discussion forums (2008.09.12, posting should now work for new users)
• a moodle with interactive exercises (2008.09.05, guest access has been enabled)
