CS4620/4621 textbook errata
The following errors have been found in the chapters that were
handed out for 4620. Pete Shirley also maintains a list of
errors for the second edition here.
I will pay a bounty of $1 to the person who first reports each
error found in the draft (which implies that if I find it myself
and get it on this list before it's reported I get to keep my
dollar). To round out the fame-and-fortune package, you'll also
get a mention in the preface of the third edition. (There's no
need to report errors in formatting or typography, or dangling
cross-references, at this stage; just errors in the content.)
I am also looking for clever remarks to put in the margins. Humor,
insight, tangential facts, etc. are all welcome.
Positive line numbers count from the top; negative ones count up from the bottom.
