Credits given to...

o     SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer)'s creators for their library (to graph functions).

o     Ingo Berg (MIT) for muParser, which allowed fast math parsing, greatly helping with the speed of the GA.

o     Brad Fish for GL font

o     HTML drop down code from http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menu/pop_ups.html

Special Thanks to...

o     David Grant for running the code on his supercomputing cluster at UBC in order to generate results faster than was possible with resources available to us.
