Chapter 1:

In Algorithm 2(b) of Section 1.3, p.39:
The formula is incorrect, it should be p(n) = -3/2 p(n-1) + p(n-2)
[Aaron Hauptman, 2000-01-20]


 Chapter 3:

On page 172 in Example 3.31:
f1(1.02, 2.97, 2.01) = -17.072 ~ -17.01 = f1(1,3,2) + du
                                      ^
                                      |____Should be -17.07
[Justin Levine, 2000-02-04]


 Chapter 5:

On page 300 in Example 5.13:
In the first displayed formula, the coefficient of sin(jx) should be 

     j+1                     j+1
 (-1)                    (-1)   
 ------    rather than   ------  
   j                       2

 Chapter 6:

On page 323 in Program 6.1:

Relative error R(n+1)=2*E(n+1)/(|D(n+1)|+|D(n)|+eps), rather than
2*E(n+1)*(|D(n+1)|+|D(n)|+eps)

Likewise, relative error R(n+2)=2*E(n+2)/(|D(n+2)|+|D(n+1)|+eps),
rather than 2*E(n+2)*(|D(n+2)|+|D(n+1)|+eps)

[MVW, 2000-03-21]

 Chapter 6:

On page 340 in Exercise 4b:

Should be "use h=0.1"  rather than "use h=0.01"

[JL, 2000-03-20]

 Chapter 7:

On page 396 in the directions for the exercises, it should read "In
Exercises 1 through 5, ...".

In problem 9 the text reads:
    "If f is an odd function (i.e., f(-x) = f(x)), ..."
but it should read:
    "If f is an odd function (i.e., f(-x) = -f(x)), ..."
