Problem 65 in Section 11.5: The answer is 10/31/2, not 10 * 31/2

Page 49, the last sentence in the solution for Example 7 should read,
x=0+3t since 3 is the x-component of the vector m.

In problem 49 on page 43, the answer is
<2/3, 0, 0> x <0, -60, 0> = <0, 0, -40> ft-lbs which has a magnitude
40 ft-lbs. It is not 30 ft-lbs as indicated in the solutions.

On page 32. Numbers 62 and 62 are identical.

In the solution to Example 5, Section 11.4, pg 37. It
should be -10i-2j+2k instead of -10i-2j+2j. Also two lines
below, the the vectors have to have the form a i + b j + c k
not a i + b j + c j.

On page 52, in Example 13, substituting x=0 and y=0 in the equation for the
plane gives z=-1, not z=1. They go on to represent z
correctly in the coordinates for Q, so it's not a huge deal.

On p.96 of our textbook, the directions for Exercises 51-56 should
read "Calculate the moving frame (T, N, B) at t0" (t subscript 0 as opposed
to t(0)).

On page 76, section 12.1, problem 62. The formula
d^2/dt r(t) + r(t)= 0 should read d^2/dt^2 r(t) + r(t)= 0, (there is a 2 missing in the exponent of dt).

On page 90, in the solution of Example 3, there is a
j vector in the arc length formula under the first square root.

On page 132, example 3. The reader is asked to compute (f + g)(1,2) in the question,
but in the solution, (f + 3g)(1,2) is computed instead.

On page 184, the solution to example 6 is wrong.
The gradient is (yz,xz,xy) = (2,-1,-2). The direction
of steapest decent is (2,-1,-2)/3.

Problem 30 in Section 13.8. The problem should ask for a minimal area and not
maximal area.

I'm reporting an extremely minor error:
the answer to problem 19 in section 14.8 (on page 419) should list the angle of
theta as 7 pi/4. For the cylindrical coordinates it lists it as 7/4 pi which
could be understood as 7/(4 pi). It should be written more clearly
as pi/4 or (7/4) pi.

On page 175 example 8, fx is computed at (1,2) instead of at the point (1,3).
|
| Julia Ye | Nov 17, 2006, 6 PM |
On page 270, example 7, the bound for the angle should be theta from 0 to pi, not
r from 0,pi in the expression in S = { (r,theta) : ... }.
|
| Derek Dietz | Nov 24, 2006, 8 PM |
In Page 291, Problem 20, a z is missing in the definitin of the region R. It should
be (x,y,z), not (x,y).
|

On page 170, there is a typo in the solution of example 3: resepect -> respect.

On p. 324, in Example 6, they ask you to calculate the integral of:
yz dx + z dy + x dz
But then in the solution, they are working with the integral
xy dx + z dy + x dz

Problem 55 in section 11.5 on page 56 has the answer 3, not
9 sqrt(3)/5 as given on page 401.

Problem 15.7:32 on page 382: delete =2 in the definition of the surface.
The surface is the elliptic paraboloid z= 1-x2/4-y2, z>0.

On page 319, Example 1, part 2 (on the line starting, "Similarly, we have..."),
r(t) should read r'(t).
|
| Anna Liu | Jan 20, 2006, 22 PM |
On page 319, under the solution of example 1, the book incorrectly reads
"Thus, we have F(r(t)) - r'(t)" when instead it should read "Thus, we have
F(r(t)) (dot product) r'(t)." The book lists the computation as subtraction,
but it should be a dot product both in terms of the equation and the actual
calculation it does.
