I am very grateful to my family, including my wife, son, and daughter,
for their continuous support and understanding, and for missing me
while I was working on this book—a lot more than originally planned.
I am also very thankful to Renata Nemeth and Gergely Toth for taking
over the modeling chapters. Their professional and valuable help is
highly appreciated. David Gyurko also contributed some interesting
topics and preliminary suggestions to this book. And last but not least,
I received some very useful feedback from the ofcial reviewers and
from Zoltan Varju, Michael Puhle, and Lajos Balint on a few chapters
that are highly related to their eld of expertise—thank you all!
