The Solar eclipse sequence on our
splash page
was captured by
Rajiv Gupta,
a faculty member of the UBC Mathematics Department. Many of
Dr. Gupta's astronomical photos have been published in Astronomical
publications. The animation is achieved by using
Herb Jellinek's Animator applet.

The images of the chinese characters on our
splash page
were digitized from video shot by
Djun Kim.
The characters appear on carvings outside of UBC's C.K. Choi
building, housing the Institute of Asian Research at UBC.
The character shown means ``wisdom''.
