Is your suggestion related to a problem? Please describe.
In section 1.3 of Berstein-Vazirani there is an inconsistency when explaining the input to the oracle $f_s$, as in the second to last equation it shows as if we want to obtain $a$, even though this was referred to as the initial state, and the string we want to find out is rather $s$.

This in my opinion makes it a big hard to follow. In the examples that follow, again the string is referred as $s$ and not $a$.

Describe the solution you'd like
In the last two equations of section 1.3, the $a$'s should be changed for $s$'s.

Describe alternatives you've considered
NA

Thanks for making this issue, sorry I missed this. The textbook is being superseded so this will not be fixed.
