I would like to begin by thanking my thesis advisor, 
Professor Johnathan I. Q. Frink, Jr.\\

My major advisor, Professor Thomas Simpson, ruled
(well, at least approximately) my college years 
and helped me integrate mathematics into my life.\\

My roommate E.H. Simpson was able to correct a higher
percentage of the errors he found in the first draft
of this thesis than the percentage of the errors I
found that I was able to correct in the first draft.
The same is true about the second draft. Yet, 
paradoxically, when considering the two drafts overall,
my percentage was higher than his.\\

My friends, Jessica and Ashlee, were of great 
assistance to me in figuring out some of the more
complicated mathematics in this paper.\\

Finally, I would like to thank all the little people,
including Bart, Lisa, and Maggie.
