    Acknowledgments I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to my coauthor, Joshua Farkas, an exceptionally gifted former student of mine. Josh contributed the lion’s share of work to the first edition, developing most of the examples and problems (especially the novel and creative ones), and offering numerous ideas and suggestions as to the best way to present difficult concepts and useful problem-solving strategies. I am very grateful for all he has done in making our book a success. —RAP I would first of all like to thank Robert Pelcovits for coauthoring this book with me and for his valiant efforts in its revision. To work with a man of his stature, both as a physicist and as a person, is indeed a privilege. This book never could have been possible without him. I would also like to thank Esta Farkas for heroically reviewing the initial drafts of this book for both content and English. —JDF
