The book is intended as a general background, after which the student can read texts that deal with semiconductors, dielectrics or magnetic materials in more detail.
The book also contains elements for understanding the quantum Hall effect and the Josephson effect, two effects important in precise measurements, measuring standards, and the development of computers.
The book is divided into three parts; the first deals with the area of sets, functions and numbers, followed by a chapter with basic knowledge of polynomials and some elementary functions, while the third chapter systematically covers plane geometry.
