Countless authors, physicists, mentors, and online resources made this book possible, and this book was the product of collaboration between researchers and students around the world. The contributors to this book include:

The incredible book A Most Incomprehensible Thing provided great insights into General Relativity and gave the Elara Handbook its approach to detailed, step-by-step teaching. Khan Academy’s excellent calculus and multivariable calculus courses helped tremendously. Grant Sanderson’s YouTube channel 3blue1brown provided a lot of the guidance behind the linear algebra series. Eigenchris, Andrew Dotson and Physics with Elliot motivated a lot of the examples and explanatory derivations. Finally, we would like to thank Dr. Harold White of Limitless Space Institute and Andrew Bramante of Greenwich High School for their incredible wisdom and support. A partial list of other resources consulted can be found on the project website at https://elaraproject.github.io/acknowledgements.

The importance of openness and sharing knowledge in science cannot be overstated. This book is a testament to this fact.
