Abstract

This handbook was developed through a collaborative effort between a team of faculty members and AI tools. While AI assisted in drafting and organizing content, faculty members provided the scholarly direction, curated all academic references, and shaped the narrative to meet the needs of introductory undergraduate learners. Every section has been carefully reviewed and vetted to ensure both accuracy and academic integrity. The purpose of this text is to offer a clear, concise, and accessible resource that summarizes essential concepts without requiring students to purchase a textbook.
