I owe a special debt of gratitude to Professor Matthias Beck of SUNY Binghamton who used the book in his class at Binghamton and found many errors and made many good suggestions for changes and additions to the book. I thank him very much. I have corrected the errors and made some changes.

I am also grateful to Professor Pawel Hitczenko of Drexel University, who prepared the nice supplement to Chapter 10 on applications of the Residue Theorem to real integration.
