<p>Someone told me that all of the first chapter was available online on Google Books (my text is still being shipped!), but I think he was mistaken. Agh! I managed to do the first section a few days ago too (it was on there)! </p>
<p>I just need the exercises for section 1.3, specifically, nos. 2, 5, 8, and 18.</p>
<p>I'm just hoping for a miracle that someone on CC has this book. :p</p>
<p>I have several books in this area in my home library and this is the first time that I've seen this particular book. The Google books entry is at:</p>
<p>Introduction</a> to Mathematical ... - Google Book Search</p>
<p>This seems to me to be a rather obscure book for a US course. Springer tends to be a cheaper alternative to overpriced US textbooks. The material is generally there but without a lot of the fluff.</p>
