This page lists corrections and clarifications to my book, Computational Physics with R. Despite careful preparation, some errors and inaccuracies remain, and I am grateful to readers who have reported them. Corrections are listed by chapter and will be updated as needed.

Chapter 01

Page 1-3, Line 7

The beginning of the line, \[ +\mathbf{0}\times 2^3\mathbf{1}\times 2^2, \] should be replaced by \[ +\mathbf{0}\times 2^3 + \mathbf{1}\times 2^2. \]

Page 1-4, Top table

The first seven lines of the table are correct. Then they must be replaced by \[ \begin{array}{lccc} 2 & \div & 2 & 0 \\ 1 & \div & 2 & 1 \\ 0 & & & \end{array} \] This means that the line Thus, \(380='10011111100'\) must be replaced by Thus, \(380='101111100'\).
