Dedication

This book is dedicated to my students and to my family.

To my students who encouraged me, tested me, pushed me, and showed up for class every day with their enthusiasm, their youthfulness, and their brilliance. You have given me the best career I could ever imagine. I hope you learned as much from me as I learned from you.

To my family—Greg, Laura, Ann, and Joan. Each of you sacrificed to make this book possible and allowed me to pursue my dream. You are the best family ever and I love you all.
