Abstract
THESE are Nos. 3, 4, and 5 of the Cambridge Tracts in Mathematics and Mathematical Physics, which are intended to help students by providing them with brief and readable introductions to mathematical theories which are important in themselves, and yet for various reasons do not appear in the ordinary text-books. If they serve their purpose they will induce their readers to follow up the paths they indicate, and try to explore still further the mazy garden of the mathematical muse.
