\begin{acknowledgements}
	
I thank my advisor, Sean Gailmard, for urging me to think more creatively and to pursue outsize research questions. And for reminding me that I'm not my own harshest critic.\\

The members of the Committee provided invaluable guidance and comments on drafts over the course of six years spent on developing this dissertation.\\

I acknowledge support of the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship (DGE 1106400). This dissertation used the computer resources of Stampede2 at the Texas Advanced Computing Center under an Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment startup allocation (TG-SES180010) and a Titan Xp GPU donated by the NVIDIA Corporation.
