In carefully chosen steps, the author translates these notions into a purely formalistic language, from the basics through to integration. Numerous examples and illustrations help the reader to understand this formal language. This then allows the author to present almost all exotic examples, which can hardly be explained in the descriptive language. The reader will note with comfort that the author also recommends not to forget the intuitive content of this formalism. rv: Hansueli Hösli (Ittigen)
