Preliminary Edition (white cover) Errata
The list below gives the errors that were reported in the preliminary edition (white cover) of this book. All these errors were corrected in the current edition (gray cover).
- On page 3, the figure titled "Integers on the real line" is missing the minus signs in front of -2 and -1.
- On page 78, two lines from the bottom of the solution to the top Example, "part (a)" should be "part (b)".
- On page 88, three lines below the box, "domain of f" should be "range of f".
- On page 132, the graph shown at the bottom of the page is on the interval [-5/6, 5/2], not the interval [-5/6, 5/3].
- On page 162, five lines from the bottom, "1.6" should be "-1.6".
- On page 180, first line of the solution to Exercise 23, "numerator" should be "denominator".
- On page 175, the figure correctly shows the graph of the function r under discussion, but the caption incorrectly mentions another function.
-
On page 233, the correct solution to Exercise 25 can be seen by clicking here.
-
On page 239, first line, "E00" should be "E0".
-
On page 252, fourth line from the bottom, "(1,3)" should be "(5,9)".

-
On page 510, last line of the solution to Exercise 31, "1.589" should be "1.689".
-
On page 515, in the Example, the denominator "1 - 2/3" should be "1 - 1/3", which changes the answer from "5 - 5/320" to "5/2 - 5/(2 . 320)".
