Toolbox: key words

Key words summarize central concepts of the course. By an info-icon each key word refers to the lecture's chapter, where it was introduced. Further references link to subsequent appearances all over the material - published papers included.
The knowledge of these terms and of the thorough understanding of the underlying concepts are essential for your expert training. They should haunt your dreams!
