Acknowledgements
While writing version 0.0 of wavetrain, I was supported in part by a Leverhulme Trust
Research Fellowship. I would have been incapable of writing wavetrain without my
research collaboration with Matthew Smith (Microsoft Research, Cambridge) and Jens
Rademacher (CWI, Amsterdam), and I am very grateful to them both for our many
discussions. I also thank Philipp Janert and Wasit Limprasert for help with gnuplot, Steve
Mowbray for computer advice, Lisa Keyse for secretarial help, and Ayawoa Dagbovie,
Osman Gani, Alan MacDonald and Jennifer Reynolds for testing the code and parts of
this user guide. Finally but most importantly, I am deeply grateful to Pam and Dorothy
for being so supportive, and for putting up with my many hours in front of the computer
screen.
