Errata

Last sentence reads "Also, the most suitable to develop intuitive understanding might not be the one that minimizes a particular mathematical quantity."

Shouldn't the word "way" or "method" be next to suitable?

Note from the Author or Editor:
Thanks for pointing this out. I think the sentence should read:

"Also, the most suitable bandwidth to develop intuitive understanding..." (insert "bandwidth")

The text says that the simulation runs for 1000 time units, however, the source code has 500 time units.

Note from the Author or Editor:
I think that's right - the text should agree with the code and the figure.

text says, "...command line like at the shell..."
"like" should be deleted?

Note from the Author or Editor:
Confirmed - strike "like" (p70, before first code insert)

The word "youre" should be "you're"

Note from the Author or Editor:
Third line from top.

Extra "they" in the figure caption: "the data show the they employee type"

Note from the Author or Editor:
Strike "they" in Figure caption.

"To find the width of the distribution, we would like see how..." [missing "to"]

Note from the Author or Editor:
Insert "to" after "like" : "... we would like TO see how ..."

"but one of these 53 FEET tractor-trailer long hauls)?"

"FEET" should be "FOOT"

NB: the capitalization is correct; I have used capital letters here for emphasis.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Confirmed, after checking with a professional editor.

In the function f(x), it says sin(2*pi*$0/6). It should be x instead of $0. I.e., sin(2*pi*x/6)

Note from the Author or Editor:
Third line from bottom (first line in code block):

Currently: "... 0.75*sin(2*pi*$0/6) ..."
Should be: "... 0.75*sin(2*pi*x/6) ..."

In the function f(x), it says sin(2*pi*$0/6). It should be x instead of $0. I.e., sin(2*pi*x/6)

Note from the Author or Editor:
Second line from bottom (first line in code block):

Currently: "... 0.75*sin(2*pi*$0/6) ..."
Should be: "... 0.75*sin(2*pi*x/6) ..."

"... even it requires only one tenth..."

Should be "... even if it requires..."

Note from the Author or Editor:
Insert "if":

Currently: "... even it requires only one tenth..."
Should be "... even if it requires..."

In the function f(x), it says sin(2*pi*$0/6). It should be x instead of $0. I.e., sin(2*pi*x/6)

Note from the Author or Editor:
Second line from bottom (first line in last code block):

Currently: "... 0.75*sin(2*pi*$0/6) ..."
Should be: "... 0.75*sin(2*pi*x/6) ..."

From what I can tell, the dollar signs weren't properly escaped. They are missing and the font switches to LaTeX "mathmode."

Note from the Author or Editor:
In the first line in the first code block on p130:
- the entire line should be set in fixed-width "code" font
- insert '$' before the digit '2' and before the second (!) digit '0' to read :

plot "data" u 0:($2 - 315 - 35*($0/350)**1.35) w l \

As is: "... they seem to be more talked about then used."

Should be: "... they seem to be more talked about than used."

Note from the Author or Editor:
2nd line from top - change "then" to "than"
Currently: "... more talked about then"
Should be: "... more talked about than"

Title of paragraph: Keep data files readily available

Missing character below where "may" should be "many":
Being able to run... turnaround typical of may data warehouse installations...

Note from the Author or Editor:
Confirmed. Thanks for pointing it out.

Instead of "... that could (or need be) estimated"
should be: "... that could (or need) be estimated"

=> move closing parentheses one word to the left!

Extra space in "well- tested".
