8/16/2006 - Since I am
constantly tying to improve the textbook, I
am always looking for any errors in the text that you come across as you read it.
For example, misspelled words, figures with wrong numbers, etc. I am
interested in identifying these errors, thus I am willing to make a
deal with you. Here's the deal: For every two errors a
student finds in the text that have not been previously identified by
someone else, I will award a bonus point. (Errors already found by
other students will not count.) A student may accumulate up to 8
bonus points for finding errors over the course of the semester.
To get credit for finding an error, students should send an email
message that specifies:
(1) your name,
(2) the exact page number(s) on which the error occurs,
(3) a word-by-word listing of the error, and
(4) what the appropriate correction should be (if clearly identifiable).
I will award credit in the order that
the email messages are received. As the list grows, I will collect
the errors in a file and post them on the course web site.
