The second author would like to draw your attention to: |
Figure 10.4: This figure has extraneous vertical lines probably caused by a printing problem. |
Chapter 10 Section 1.1: The slices mentioned here are central slices. They do not include the translations associated with an IUR probe. The interested reader may consult this enjoyable reference, A.J. Baddeley,"A Crash Course in Stochastic Geometry", in Proceedings Seminaire Europeen de Statistique: Stochastic Geometry, likelihood and computation O.E. Barnesdorff-Nielsen, W.S. Kendall and M.N.M. vanLieshout, eds.(CRC Press [Chapman and Hall] Boca Raton, FL 1999). |
Chapters 2,5 and 10: The chapter numbers are omitted from the problem numbers. e.g "1)" instead of "5.1)". |
Chapter 6 Section 9.3 Paragraph 1: The word "be" should read "by" so that the phrase reads "bias caused by the shape". |
Chapter 4 figure 4.10: This figure is confusing because the reader is viewing tangent to to the y-z plane. In the drawing, the polar angle appears to be taken with respect to the y-axis but is in fact taken with respect to the z-axis. |
Chapter 3 Section 1.2: When re-typeset at the factory to change pagination, a systematic error in the book occurred. |
Chapter 3 Eqn(3.13): Another systematic typsetting error occurs. |
Chapter6 Eqn(6.140): The power of t in the denominator should be unity. |
Chapter 5 page 147 footnote: The name, Philofsky is mispelled Philofshy. |
Preface: John Cahn makes this correction to John Hilliard's biography: |
Chapter 10 Section 3: John Hilliard used a different and more intuitive counting convention for faces; viz. he did not count the complement of the figure (the background) as a face. His treatment is self-consistent but differs from standard use. Consequently, the constant on the r.h.s of Eqn.(10.11) is unity rather than 2, the Euler characteristic. For a pleasant discussion of conventional graph theory read R.L. Trudeau, Introduction to Graph Theory, Dover (1993). See also L.K. Barrett and C.S. Yust, "Some Fundamental Ideas in Topology and their application to problems in metallography",Metallography 3 (1970) 1-33. |
Chapter 5, Problem 5.28, Eqn.(51.42P): The result can be mis-read read as the projected length of a line in 3-D which is: |
Chapter 5 Eqn(5.66): A non-systematic error occurs. The correct version of the equation is shown here. |
Chapter 5 Eqn(5.73): A non-systematic error occurs. The correct version of the equation is shown here. |
Chapter 5 Eqn(5.75): A non-systematic error occurs. The correct version of the equation is shown here. |
Chapter 5 Eqn(5.77): A non-systematic error occurs. The correct version of the equation is shown here. I want to give my sincerest thanks to Jiri Janacek for notifying me of these last four errors in Chapter 5. |
