+## 1.1 The Structure of This Book

+A pure tutorial sorts its topics so that no concept is used before it has been introduced; it must be read linearly starting with page one. Conversely, a pure reference manual can be accessed starting at any point; it describes each topic succinctly with references (forward and backward) to related topics. A pure tutorial can in principle be read without prerequisites – it carefully describes all. A pure reference can be used only by someone familiar with all fundamental concepts and techniques. This book combines aspects of both. If you know most concepts and techniques, you can access it on a per-chapter or even on a per-section basis. If not, you can start at the beginning, but try not to get bogged down in details. Use the index and the cross-references.
