bja3cove1.jpg (28393 bytes) The following list contains corrections that deal with either numerical concepts or items that relate directly to a chart or table reference. While there are a number of typographical errors and some stylistic inconsistencies that I regret, they do not affect the reader’s comprehension of the text or the accuracy of the statements being made, and, for that reason, they are not included here. — D.S.

13. Page 296, Section VII.1.: “See II.1.” should be “See II.”
