Many Thanks to the Reviewers

(in the order of their review)

I am in debt to academic and professional colleagues, as well as members of my family who, so selflessly took the time and so diligently reviewed this involved work.

My wife, Dr. Susan Carol Curzon, Dean Emeritus of California State University, Northridge, for several rounds of review and endless hours of debates.

Dr. Bruce Ayati, Professor of Mathematics at the University of Iowa.

Dr. David Liu, Professor of Information Systems at California State University, Northridge.

The late Dr. Ron Lemos, Professor and Dean Emeritus, California State University, Los Angles, whose words in his review “… Your thinking is potentially revolutionary,” have energized this work since 9/21/2010.

Dr. Mark Crase, then Chief Technology Officer for California State University.  (Retired in 2016)

Mr. Brent Dillabaugh, then Policy Analyst for Hawaii non-profit organizations: HACBED and Islander Institute.

·Dr. Pari Kasliwal, a Developmental Economist, and Adjunct Professor of Economics at California State University, Los Angeles and Long Beach campuses, who, after a diligent review, told me: “ You will be working on this for the next decade or more.” He proved to be right!

The late Sister Rita Basta.  Sister Rita was a longtime Lecturer of Mathematics at California State University, Northridge.  Her thorough and ruthless review caused me a necessary overhaul of the book.

Dr. Parviz Partow-Navid, Parviz Partow-Navid, Emeritus Professor of Computer Information Systems, California State University, Los Angeles, and an experienced long time educational administrator at various levels, whose keen review and advice led to the latest changes in the book.
