To be sure there is a big gap between learning the Banach-Steinhaus theorem, for example, and applying it to a real problem. It is a natural objective, because integration theory and functional analysis to a great extent developed in response to the problems of Fourier series!

Recursion theory is gone into a little more deeply, including the s-m-n theorem, the recursion theorem, and Rice's Theorem. (3) In Chapter 2, Quantification Theory, Henkin's proof of the completeness theorem has been postponed until the reader has gained more experience in proof techniques.

Random arrivals (requests for service), probability distributions defining queueing processes (distributions of service times and acceptable waiting times), and structure parameters (customer priorities, parameters that delimit acceptable queues, parameters that define paths of customers, etc.) are characteristic com ponents of queueing models.

"...the text is user friendly to the topics it considers and should be very accessible...Instructors and students of statistical measure theoretic courses will appreciate the numerous informative exercises; All in all, the text should make a useful reference for professionals and students."-The Journal of the American Statistical Association
