catalog only The original book is published by its author under CC BY-NC-ND 3.0. The no-derivatives term means a translation needs separate permission before it can be redistributed, so this site links to the project and does not host the translated text or PDF.

Catalogued

The translation follows the structure of the author's 2026 edition chapter by chapter: theorems, formulas, exercises, and section order are checked directly against the official text. The Chinese keeps the translator's own phrasing, terminology, and notes, while any doubtful passage is re-read against the English.

The build is a XeLaTeX book with a table of contents, cross-references, a Chinese index, and a translator's appendix of exercise solutions. Figures prefer vector or TikZ versions. Early drafts are kept out of the build in a legacy folder so the project history stays auditable.

What is not included here

This site does not host the translated PDF or source text. The project story explains the work; the repository holds the source; redistribution of the translation waits on permission from the original author.
