Acknowledgements

Special thanks are due Bob Condon, system administrator of Mathematics Computing, who didn't scoff when the idea of this computer exhibit was suggested, and who, in fact, made it all possible.

I am indebted to Dr. Donald Myers, Professor of Mathematics, for his continued help and encouragement in my (sometimes Quixotic) pursuits of better methods of mapping.

I also want thank my father, Cliff Long, for the use of the data he lifted from his favorite sculpture of Abraham Lincoln.
