Issues on Chapter 09 about scientific_forth HOT 9 CLOSED

We could assume the equation above Eq. 11, det(A) = etc., would be Eq. 10. The rest of the section follows the determinant, and thus I think it fits.

It's a little baffling which equations Julian numbered and which ones he did not. I would have had Eq. 9 label Eq. 9 and Eq. 10.

Any further thoughts?

I added the contents of the Scientific Forth Disk. This should reduce typing programs.

I know that the goal of the project is not to make a review of the book, but there is one suspicious reference (p.216) to Eq. 3 (which is I matrix) ... could you take a look?

from scientific_forth.

on page 238 the enumeration of the equations is restarted from 19 (was 21 @ page 223)

from scientific_forth.

on page 226 the FORTH code is referred to EX.3 but in fact it is in MTOOL and is quite different ... most likely the code in the book is wrong ... So, which one to put in the .tex file?

from scientific_forth.

I think the correct reference should be Eq. 2, as it contains the same variables as 6a, 6b, and 6b'.

I would like to be okay with changing the enumeration. I suggest an unenumerated footnote, noting the change from the original. There are two references at the end of Ch. 9 which would have to be changed to match the new enumeration.

Analysis on page 226: the code at the top of the page is from MTOOL; the NOTES are for EX.3; the third item states }row{ shall be defined below, which it is not; and the content of EX.3 file does not match the print out at the bottom of 226.

Adding the ERRATA file as a page would be within the spirit of the project. Correcting the errata from the file is fine. Adding a project errata page wolud allow the project to inform the reader of the corrections

What do you think?

Could you pls help me with the missing words?
On page 242, 2nd paragraph

We see from Table 2 above that the time computed from the cpu and
coprocessor specifications (422 clocks) is close to the measured time (440 clocks).
The slight difference doubtless comes both from measurement error and from
the fact the timing of CISC chips is not an exact art (for example, there a ??
periodic interruptions for dynamic memory refreshment and f ?? the system
clock).
