The proofs in this book are much more calculational than we were used to only a few years ago. As we shall explain later, the theorems are (or could be) formulated as boolean expressions, for which, in principle, true and false are the possible values; the proofs consist in calculations evaluating these boolean expressions to true. We shall return to this later, focussing, for the time being, our attention on some of the notational consequences of this approach.
