Dedication

To my parents, Michael and Dianna Watson, who, on at least two occasions during my teenage years, humored me when I wrote up a proposal for them to buy me C++ compiler software, and who did everything possible to foster my talents and interests. I would not be a success without their example, love, and guidance.

To my wonderful wife, Leticia, who showed great patience and love as I took on this new and daunting project amidst all the other changes in our life.
