Acknowledgements

The cover image was created by Claire Ali, a mechanical engineer and amateur artist, who provided a custom digital version of an earlier work she created with paint on paper.

The book was created from camera-ready copy provided by the author, and although any errors contained are her own, the work has benefited from the contributions of many others. Along the way copy editing feedback was provided by Syed S. Ali, Mike Castillo, and students at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Advice on content and publishing was provided by Graeme Hirst and Ronnie Smith.
