Dedicated to my late uncle Fran¸ cois Paycha, †1 May 2008, who did not live long enough to see this manuscript finished. He himself was a doctor with no serious acquaintance with mathematics, but he showed unlimited curiosity for scientific research of all sorts and was very eager to know about the contents of this book in preparation.
