Ch 3 of my writings, first few sections posted

Tentatively titled "Foundations".

Also, these first 2/3 sections may be moved to some later point, i.e. even the 
structure is tentative, but I'd value comments!

PS: Hm, Open Office's PDF generation does funny things with Greek sigmas inside 
formulas! I don't mind so much that it makes table divider lines very fat and 
bold and that it can't handle certain figures (which I have to paste in manually 
as bitmaps), but really it should be able to handle simple text. Grr.
