 Hence some results are left unproved. Nevertheless, we include numerous
 references throughout the text to other materials where the reader can find
 complete proofs. We will assume basic knowledge of abstract algebra. In
-particular, we assume that the reader is familiarized with multi-linear algebra
-and the theory of modules over a ring. Understanding some examples in the
-introductory chapter requires basic knowledge of differential and algebraic
-geometry, as well as rings of differential operators, but these examples are
