Summary
Chapter 1 delivers a brief historical description of the Summer Course on which the notes are based. The course was founded at MIT in 1950 by Professors Richard C. Lord and Foil A. Miller and was held there each summer for twenty-two years. In 1972 it was moved to Bowdoin College where it has been held each summer up to the present time (2003). In addition the Summer Course has been offered fourteen times outside the United States.
