To use the errata listing it helps to
know which version (printing) of the book
you have. On page vi (the page facing Will
Rogers) near the bottom, just above the ISBN
number, you will see a row of numbers in
backwards order. The smallest number on this
list is your version number. For example, if
the list shows "10 9 8 7 6 5 4", then your
book is from the 4th printing.
The first column of the errata listing
shows the printing of the book in which we
have confirmed each correction has been
made. For example, I have confirmed that the
errata item on page 23 was corrected by the
4th printing. If your book is from the 4th
or later printing you need not check your
book for that particular correction -- it's
already been made. That particular
correction may have been made in an
earlier printing (Prentice Hall does not
keep records of which correction was placed
in which printing), but we know it
was incorporated at least into the 4th (I
know because I obtained a 4th-printing book
and checked it).
I hope this listing helps you to get the
most out of your book.

The word "siemens" is mis-spelled
consistently throughout the text. The
correct spelling has an "e" in the last
syllable. When referring to the unit of
conductance the word is NOT capitalized,
and always appears in the plural form—siemens.
When referring to the company having the
same name the word IS capitalized—Siemens.

"International unit of conductance,
the Sieman siemens."

unit of conductivity, is the inverse of
an ohm, the unit of resistivity. An

Oops, I calculated in equation 3.50 to
"total" line capacitance when I was,
according to the pi model, supposed to
calculate only "half" the line
capacitance. This doesn't change the
conclusions, but the numbers are
different.
Change the
value on the right-hand side of equation
3.50 from "2.5" to "1.25".
Towards the
end of the next paragraph change "and
the 2.5 pF" to "and the 1.25 pF".
In the
denominator of equation 3.51 change
"2.5" to "1.25"
Change the
value on the right-hand side of equation

On page

change "2.5 pF" to "1.25 pF"
In the
denominator of equation 3.52 change
"12.5" to "11.25"
Change the
value on the right-hand side of equation
3.52 from "2.7" to "2.9"
In the

sections 3.5.6.1 - 3.5.6.4: italics and
subscripts are broken in multiple
places—p. 155 in 1 place, p. 156 in 15
places, and p. 158 in 5 places. The most
damaging problem is that the italic l
symbol for length when set in regular
font looks exactly like the numeral 1.
That particular error occurs in the
where clause below equation [3.62],
the where clause below equation
[3.62], and in the discussion below
equation [3.67]. |
