Errata
- Page 29, first line. Editors have changed "Data are." into "Data is..."
- Page 30. A copy editing change has altered a sentence in 3.6 from "computer systems are nothing if not unpredictable"
to "computers are nothing but unpredictable". The latter is too strong. The former is a common form of speech in the UK,
but might be confusing. It means that computer systems are strongly characterized by uncertainty.
- Page 39: Eqn. 3.11 should say $S \equiv R = N/T$
- Page 59, second para. should read: We need a langauage that is general enough ... but which is specific enough to make ...
- Page 127 in (9.44) log_m should be log_2
- Page 132, in equation 9.56, the first line is missing a term involving beta
from 9.55.
- Page 181, eqn. 12.5. Mean service time should be B/C, not A/T (paste error).
- Figure caption on p.7 speaks of courier font, but the publisher
changed this in production. Now it should read "bold font".
- P. 268, eqn 18.13: last x_n should be y_n.
- P. 300, First sentence of "The value for a player", "that what" -> "what" (or "that which")
- The index seems to be mangled. Refs to Shannon and Shakespeare are compeletely wrong.
perhaps more?
- NB P. 228 Equation 15.19 is NOT missing the addition of + 1/2 from the line above. Write 1/2 as 1/2 ln(e) and combine terms.
- P. 253 The denominator in eqn. 17.6 should read P(E|c_i)P(c_i)
- Final chapter quotation by "Alfred North Whitbread" should of course read Alfred North Whitehead
