Dedication

I dedicate this book in the grandest possible manner to my dear wife, Shreepriya, who has been fully supportive and patient with me for all the late nights I worked on this book. It is also dedicated to my twins, Praveen and Divya, who have seen me work long hours on this book. I dedicate this book in memory of my father, Harinath Govindarajalu, who passed away in 1999 and who I am sure would have been proud of this great achievement, and to my mother, Sundar Bai, and my sister, Geetha Harinath. Finally, I dedicate this book in memory of my uncle, Jayakrishnan Govindarajalu, who passed away in 2007 and who was very proud of me co-authoring the first edition of this book, and was eagerly looking forward to seeing this book.
