MATLAB Guide Errors

First Printing

• Two changes reflecting differences between the pre-release version used to prepare the book and the final release:
  • Page 4, line -1: the residual is 8.8818e-016
  • Page 5, in the eigenvector matrix V the numbers in the second two columns should be minus the values shown.
• Page 15, lrun.m: in the call to ode45 the argument should be @lorenzde and not 'lorenzde'.
• Page 28, line -1 and page 29, line 1: replace sentence `A Load Wizard, accessible from the File-Load Data menu option,' with `An Import Wizard, accessible from the File-Import Data menu option.
• Page 122, line 11: replace `six' by `five'.
• Page 136, line -5: should be `quotient x^2-4x+4'.
• Page 138: line -16, `2pi' should be `pi' and in Figure 11.2 the final x-axis tick label should be `pi'.
• Page 146, line -14: should read `2001 equally spaced points' and lines 3 and 4 of the code should be
  t = linspace(0,4*pi,n+1);
  for i=1:n
• Page 196, line - 3: replace `that is displayed in the Help Browser' by `that is displayed in the system's default Web browser'.
• Page 238, lines 1 and 8 are correct, but are equivalently and more concisely expressed as
  >> x = vpa('exp(1)',d)
  >> y = vpa(exp(1),d)
• Page 263, replace `Launchpad' with `Launch Pad'.
• Back cover: in the term `Handle Graphics' the `g' should be capitalized.

Second Printing

• Page 145, the default value of tol for quad and quadl is 1e-6.
• Page 157, line 6: replace `yfox(i)' by `yfox(i,:)'.
