Even though we did every possible effort for the book to be totally error
free, some errors still managed to sneak through the net. We are posting
every reported inconsistency or misspelling on this page as soon as it
comes to our attention. Most of these will be corrected in the next print.
Please send any potential bug report to the following address: icbook@bwrc.eecs.berkeley.edu.
We truly appreciate your inputs and feedback.
