| 5, first script | stray \\ |
| 8, second to last script | y(k) = sin(2*pi*x(k)), add the 2*pi |
| p. 38, line 1 | the "a" should be a "b" |
| p. 42 | for k=1:nTerms in the script ExpTaylor |
| 46, after proof | Matlab seems to set eps = 2^(1-t). |
| 53, second to last line | "of" not "off" |
| 60, line 8 | case error: C1.long.d, not C1.Long.d |
| 61, 3rd line in spec for convert | .. is the value of f. |
| 62 | stray "is a " in spec for pretty |
| 63, PadeCoeff comments | The square brackets should be parens, i.e., R.num(1). |
| p.69 | Color mnemonics for white, magenta, and black should be w, m, and k resp. |
| p. 78 | In last scipt, superfluous V = zeros(n,n) |

| p. 173, last displayed eqn | the (4,5) entry should be a -1. |
| 177 line -4 | Ax not Az |
| 210, line -5 | ... so we can vectorize as follows (assuming that x is a column vector): |
| p. 233 | At the bottom, should be [L,U,P] = LU(A). |
| 246, P7.1.2 | stray \ symbols and "\car" is "^ " |
| 256 | The (n,n-1) and the (n-1,n) entries in the matrix in Theorem 7 are e_{n} not e_{n-1} |
