screwed up! So let us know.

Errata
Page 127: The Lagrangian near the top of the page is written,
L = mx· + 2 + x· - 2  - V(x- )

it should read
L = mx· + 2 + x· - 2  - V(2 x- ).

Page 193: The first set of three equations is written,


→ →
V ⨯ A = Vy Az - Vz Ay
x
→ →
V ⨯ A = Vz Ax - Vx Az
y
→ →
V ⨯ A = Vx Ay - Vy Az .
z

should be written,
→ →
V ⨯ A = Vy Az - Vz Ay
x
→ →
V ⨯ A = Vz Ax - Vx Az
y
→ →
V ⨯ A = Vx Ay - Vy Ax .
