Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to quickly introduce enough theory so that we can present some examples that will then be used throughout the course of the book to illustrate the theory and how to use it. These examples are simple to write down in general and to understand at an elementary level, but they are also useful for the understanding of deeper parts of the theory.
