Errata

Please report typos and errors to your instructor. All corrections are listed below and fixed at the end of term for the benefit of future installments of MATH 103.

Course Notes

  • p.69: Table 3.1, the last column with anti-derivatives should include an integration constant.
  • p.195 bottom: The solution includes repetitive information for finding an upper bound: "by noting that for all \(x>0\)

\[0 \leq\frac{x}{1+x^3}\leq\frac{x}{x^3}=\frac1{x^2}."\]

can be deleted. Identical information is provided in the following sentence.
  • p.213: In the integral immediately following Figure 8.2, a factor of \(\pi/12\) is missing in front of the integral.
  • p.229 middle: Note, the statement "If the distribution is non-symmetric, a long tail in one direction will shift the mean toward that direction more strongly than the median." is a very useful rule of thumb to visually assess features of a (probability) distribution. However, it is just a rule of thumb and is not mathematically rigorous.

Exercises

  • p.368: Solution 2.14 (d) should be 81/4 (not 182.25).
  • p.368: Solution 10.4 (d) should read monotonically increasing, bounded (and not monotonically decreasing, bounded).
