Other than myself, this learning system is the result of considerable effort by a group of people, all making their respective contributions. Huang Yu-Shyuan (黃彧旋) helped to create many of the illustrative cartoons in the textbook. Wu Sao Mao (吳紹懋), Chen Nien-Po (陳念波), and Rudolf B. Blazek worked on revising and generalizing the materials. Cathy Lee (李桂仁), Andy Chung (張悅頎) and Xin-Yu Lin (林信宇) put in many hours working on the FLASH visuals that accompany this book.
