purpose, the authors' electronic mail addresses are given below. We also hope
that colleagues whose work has not been referenced will forgive us, since any
omissions are unintentional.
We have to thank all our present and former students, colleagues, and
friends, who helped us in one way or another to finish this work; the complete
list of names is too long to list here. Names that we cannot avoid mentioning
include Drs. Ismet DemirdZiC, Samir Muzaferija, ~ e l j k o Lilek, Joseph Oliger,
Gene Golub, Eberhard Schreck, Volker Seidl, Kishan Shah, Fotina (Tina)
Katapodes and David Briggs. The help provided by those people who created
and made available TEX, @TEX, Linux, Xfig, Ghostscript and other tools
which made our job easier is also greatly appreciated.
Our families gave us a tremendous support during this endeavor; our
special thanks go to Anna, Robinson and Kerstin PeriC and Eva Ferziger.
This collaboration between two geographically distant colleagues was
made possible by grants and fellowships from the Alexander von Humboldt
Foundation and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German National Research organization). Without their support, this work would never have
come into existence and we cannot express sufficient thanks to them.
