Acknowledgments

We would like to thank Robert Mulkern (Brigham and Women's Hospital) for helpful comments on the equations in Chapter 17. This generated an e-mail debate on the formula for signal-to-noise, which went on for a month and included MR giants such as Mark Haacke (Wayne State), John Mugler (UVa), Felix Wehrli (Penn), Gary Fullerton (UColo), and Mark Bydder (UCSD Graeme's son and future giant).

Chapter 1

1-1 (a) See Figure 1-17

(b) See Figure 1-18

1-2 ei(x+y) = eixeiy. So cos (x + y) + isin (x + y) = (cos x + isin x)(cos y + isin y) = (cos x cos y sin x sin y) + i(cos x sin i + sin x cos y)

1-3 sinc(0) = sin(0)/0 = limd/dx (sin x/x) xrarr;0

= cosx/1 = cos0/1 = 1/1 = 1 (x = 0)
