Known Errors in the First Printing of Unit
R, 1/e
NOTE:
In all that follows I will use <letter name> to
represent a Greek-letter variable, ^ to indicate that the next
quantity is superscripted, _ to indicate that the next quantity is
subscripted, and boldface to indicate a vector quantity. I will also
go against typographical convention and put punctuation
outside of quotation marks to make whatever is enclosed in
quotes exactly reflect what is (or should be) in the
text.
