We aim at keeping the theory presented in this textbook strictly target-oriented and therefore confine ourselves to spaces, terms, and concepts necessary to understand nonlinear dynamics and optimal control theory. For the reader searching for more information about the mathematics behind our straightforward approach we refer to additional literature on areas of expertise that go beyond the scope of this textbook. Thus this section is a concise survey of the basics, serving as a minimum standard.
