Consolidated Errata

September 17, 2020

Thanks to all who’ve contributed to this errata list. Just when you think you’ve found the last mistake...!

The author can be contacted at jllmitpress@gmail.com should additional errors be found in the book that require this errata list to be updated.

Chapter 3: Time Conversions

Page 47, section 3.9, step 4: the parenthetical note is incorrect. It should read “Note that adding 24h means that the resulting LCT is for the previous day while subtracting 24h means that the resulting LCT is for the next day.”

Page 47, section 3.10: A note should be inserted before the first paragraph. “Note: The time conversion method presented in this section is accurate to approximately a tenth of a second.”

Page 48, section 3.11: A note should be inserted before the first paragraph. “Note: The time conversion method presented in this section is accurate to approximately a tenth of a second.”
