Acknowledgements: Many thanks to the students
for sharing their enthusiasm and skills on such
a wonderful variety of topics. Writing an article
for Micscape formed part of their course
assignment, which was a neat idea proposed by
Ted Kinsman the course instructor in the summer,
to which we readily agreed! Thanks to Ted for
all the work behind the scenes to make this
happen. Also thanks to Michael Peres, the dept.
head for his introduction and for the department's
generous collaboration.
