+As for the previous two volumes, my greatest debts are to Hal Abelson and +Paul Goldenberg. Both of them read the manuscript carefully through several +drafts. Hal is great at noticing the large problems; he makes comments like +"throw out this whole chapter" and "you are putting the cart before the +horse here." Paul's comments were generally on a more detailed level, +pointing out sections in which potentially valuable content was sabotaged by +a presentation that nobody would understand. Together they have improved +the book enormously. + +

Some of the examples in this book are ones that were posed to me by other +people in other contexts. Horacio Reggini raised the issue of listing (not +merely counting) the combinations of r elements of a list; +Dick White +asked me to investigate just how secure the Simplex lock is; +Chris Anderson +taught the probability class where the question about multinomial expansions +arose. I'm grateful to Anita Harnadek, whom I've never met, for +a logic +problem I use to demonstrate inference systems. (She is, by the way, the +author of a fantastic textbook called Critical Thinking that I +recommend to teachers of almost any subject: math, English, or social +studies.) Jim Davis's Logo interpreter in Logo (in the LogoWorks +anthology I co-edited) was an inspiration for the Pascal compiler. + +

+I'm grateful to Dan Bobrow, Sherry Turkle, and +Terry Winograd for permission +to quote from their work here. In particular, Bobrow's doctoral thesis +forms the basis for my chapter on artificial intelligence, and I'm grateful +for the program design as well as my extensive quotations from the thesis +itself. He was also very patient in answering technical questions about +details of a program he wrote over 20 years ago. + +

+Mike Clancy taught me about generating functions and used them to find the +closed form definition for the multinomial problem; Michael Somos, +via the sci.math newsgroup, provided the closed form solution to +the Simplex lock problem. Paul Hilfinger straightened me out +about parser complexity. + +
