Acknowledgements

This book was supported by a Concordia University Open Textbook Grant. We sincerely thank Rachel Harris, Scholarly Publishing Librarian and lead of Concordia’s OER program, for her guidance and support, as well as Chhayhee Sok for his valuable ideas on the organization of the book. Funding from the Open Textbook Grant made it possible to work with three undergraduate student assistants — Apoorva Bhardwaj, Celeste Jensen, and Rojan Nessari — whose contributions were essential to the development of this open textbook. These students contributed to HTML coding, webpage and document design, fact-checking, and proofreading from a student perspective. We also thank Dhruv Dipakkumar Patel, an undergraduate student at Concordia University, for sharing his work with us for inclusion in this book.
