Acknowledgements

Many people are deserving of acknowledgement at this time for their help in making this project possible.

I thank Dr. Tom Marchioro of the Undergraduate Computational Engineering and Sciences Project (UCES) at Ames Laboratory for the use of their development machine. I am especially grateful for the opportunity to use their implementation of latex2html, the program which converts the LaTeX document to an HTML document to be accessed using NetScape (or Mosaic). For all of the hours spent setting things up and answering my questions, I am truly grateful.

Many people at Cedarville College are also worthy of note at this time. Thanks are especially given to Dr. Steve Gollmer and Alan McCain for their technical advising about HTML, graphics packages, etc. I am also appreciative of the time spent by Robert Schumacher in locating URLs on the net with available public domain graphics. Many of the graphics included in this document were first found by him.

I also wish to thank Dr. Duane Wood, Academic Vice President of Cedarville College, for underwriting this project.

Finally, I thank my wonderful wife Mary for her patience with me during the process of developing these materials. Many evenings were spent with me hovering over a laptop computer. Her encouragement to me during this time has been invaluable.
