"For simplicity ......... given by (11.29)" by "By analogy of expression (11.29), we
assume that ....... given by"
p. 192, line 2, replace "in time as e^(-i
omega t)" by "in time as e^(-i omega t), and we consider the
motion with the same time dependence."

replace "from (17.33)" by "from
(17.34"
p. 279, eq. (18.32), u_B (r_B ) should be
u_B
p. 328, four lines below eq. (20.52),
insert after ".... in this section." the sentence "The constant A is determined by the
employed normalization of Bessel functions."
p. 342, the right hand side of expression
(20.82) should be "( k_1 / ik_0
)( k_0 - ik_1 )/(k_0+ik_1 )"
p. 343, replace the text from the top of
the page through " ...... of the guided waves." (1 line below problem
j) by "Using expressions (20.79)
and (20.83), one can write equation (20.82) as a relation between omega
and k. This is an complicated equation that has no knowns solutions in
closed form. Such an equation is called a transcendental equation. Through
numerical methods one can solve for k as a function of omega."
p. 351, problem g: "the mass is equal to:
should be "the mass is proportional to"
p. 365, "problem i" should be "problem k"
p. 369, "problem g" should be "problem f"
p 400-40, labels of problens of section
21.9 are not correct
p 414, in the second line of eq. (23.7),
"2 epsilon x_0 x_2" should be "2
epsilon x_0 x_1"
p. 419-420, problems of section
23.2 are not correctly labelled
p. 426, two lines below eq. (23.54),
"xdot(0)=0" should be "xdot_1(0)=0"
p. 428, line above eq. (23.62), "2 pi
omega / c" should be "2 pi c
/ omega"
p. 430, 1st line of problem e, "F_1 (x')"
should be "F_1 (xi)"
p 436, problem e: "z_1 = -1/2" should be "z_1 = -1/8", in equation (23.90) " -1/2" should be "-1/8",
and equation (23.91) should be: "x=1.982
and x=2.069"
p. 439, eq. (24.10), coeffcient of last term (-1/12) should be +3/4
p. 442, eq. (24.23), delete "(n-1)" from the last term
p. 449, problem e, "b=-ia" should be "b=+ia"
p. 459, second "Problem g" should be "Problem i"
p. 463, equation (25.10), the second component of the vector
should be "r(phi) sin(phi)"
p. 485, line 1: "expression (25.87)" should be "expression (25.88)"
p. 488, eq. (25.116), in the
last term "sqrt( 1 + ydot^2 )" should be "(
1 + ydot^2 )"
p. 489, problem f, "lambda = B^-1
cosh( X/2 )" should be "lambda
= B^-1 cosh( BX/2 )"
