- P. 168, Eq. 12.31: change y to z in both
column matrices.
- P. 567, Problem 1: change Pl(l)=1 to
Pl(1)=1 (i.e., change the argument of the
polynomial to the number one, instead of the lower-case
version of the letter L).
- P. 568, Eq. 4.1: change 21 to
2l in the denominator (i.e., change
"two raised to the first power" to "two raised to the
lth (lower-case version of L) power").
