Lots of changes to preface.

Too big a check in; got away from me. I rewrote a lot of the preface.
Added instructions for cloud.sagemath install. Removed import of
set_figsize and figsize in first cell because the first cell gets
deleted for the pdf.

The website http://nbviewer.org provides an IPython Notebook server that renders notebooks stored at github (or elsewhere). The rendering is done in real time when you load the book. You may use [*this nbviewer link*](http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/rlabbe/Kalman-and-Bayesian-Filters-in-Python/blob/master/table_of_contents.ipynb) to access my book via nbviewer. If you read my book today, and then I make a change tomorrow, when you go back tomorrow you will see that change.
If you have comments, you can write an issue so that everyone can read it along with my response. Please don't view it as a way to report bugs only. Alternatively I've created a gitter room for more informal discussion.

The Preface contains instructions on how to host the book online, for free, on a cloud server (cloud.sagemath.com) that allows you to run and alter the code insde the Notebooks. It takes 5 minutes to set up.

In Development
--------------
This book is still very much in development. The earlier chapters have settled down a lot, but I am still adding examples to the UKF chapter, and the EKF chapter is largely unwritten. Early chapters are now pretty solid up to, say, the Kalman Filter Math chapter.
