In a few cases we have made use of the excellent (public domain!) lecture notes by Sean<br />

Mauch, Introduction to methods of Applied Mathematics, available online at<br />

http://www.its.caltech.edu/~sean/book/unabridged.html (as of Fall, 2009).<br />

In some cases, we have made use of the material on Wikipedia - this includes both discussion<br />

and in a few cases, diagrams or graphics. This material is licensed under the GFDL or<br />

the Attribution-ShareAlike Creative Commons license. In any case, the amount used here<br />

probably falls under the “fair use” clause.<br />

Software used:<br />

Most of the graphics in this text was created <strong>using</strong> <strong>Sage</strong> (http://www.sagemath.org/)<br />

and GIMP http://www.gimp.org/ by the authors. The most important components of<br />

<strong>Sage</strong> for our purposes are: Maxima, SymPy and Matplotlib. The circuit diagrams were created<br />

<strong>using</strong> Dia http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/ and GIMP by the authors. A few<br />

diagrams were “taken” from Wikipedia http://www.wikipedia.org/ (and acknowledged<br />

in the appropriate placein the text). Of course, L A TEX was used for the typesetting. Many<br />

thanks to the developers of these programs for these free tools.
