Step 1 and Step 2

Both in step 1 and 2 the text commands you to edit the
non-existent file "MathController.m" file. Of course,
there is no MathController.m, and instead you should edit
the MathDocument.m file in both steps.

FROM READER: Code sample in step 13

GraphPaper's TrackGraphingView class adds a tracking rect to itself in its
initWithFrame method. A working tracking rect is not added to the TrackGraphingView
object, because (I assume) the object has not yet been unarchived from the nib file
when initWithFrame is called.

This does not affect the program's functionality, as a working tracking rect is added
when the graph method calls getFormAndScaleView. Nevertheless, this issue might cause
confusion when readers attempt to implement tracking rects in our own applications.

FROM AUTHOR:
We should remove the call in initWithFrame:
