Dr. Kok would also like to thank Dr. Cindy Tam for allowing him to put up with far too many side projects while writing this book. He appreciates her belief in him to provide the leadership and knowledge to make this book a reality.

He is very pleased to see his illegible red marginalia have found their way into the text of this book. The last but not the least, he would like to thank her for contributing the beautiful photo of “BeBe” both as the designated simulation image source for all the examples and also the cover image of the book.
