We take this opportunity to thank many correspondents whose comments and criticisms led to improvements in the Third Edition. The list below is far from complete since it does not include the names of countless students whose reactions to the book as a text helped the authors in this revised edition. We apologize to those whose names may have been inadvertently omitted from the list because we were not diligent enough to keep a complete record of all the correspondence. For the third edition we wish to thank Professors Yue-Cune Chang, Anirban Das Gupta, A. G. Pathak, Arno Weiershauser, and many other readers who sent their questions and comments. We also wish to acknowledge the assistance of Dr. Pooplasingam Sivakumar in preparation of the manuscript.
