There are several people we wish to thank. In no particular order:

David Farmer, for handling the initial conversion of the $\LaTeX$ code to PreTeXt.

Mitch Keller, for his help with PreTeXt (especially creating the Student Version of the book) and for being willing to take a chance using this book for his Fall 2019 modern algebra course at Morningside College.

The Network of IBL Communities (and NSF-DUE #1925188) and the UNO STEM TRAIL Center for supporting the collaboration with Mitch Keller.

Rob Beezer and the PreTeXt team for creating this wonderful authoring language.

And of course, our friends, family, and colleagues for their support of this project.
