Dedication

Queen Victoria, it is said, so enjoyed Alice's Adventures in Wonderland that she asked for a copy of the author's next work. Carroll obliged with the Syllabus of Plane Algebraical Geometry . Her Majesty was not amused.

In that same spirit, I dedicate this effort to the memory of my mother.
