✦ Synopsis
When a lot of books are written on a subject, one of two cases obtains. Either the subject is well understood, and the book is easy to write; such is the case with books on real variables, convexity, projective geometry in the plane, or compact orientable surfaces. Or else, the subject is of great importance, but nobody really understands what is going on; such is the case with quantum field theory, the distribution of primes, pattern recognition, and cluster analysis. The present book is an instance of the second one.
