SPECTRAL METHODS IN MATLAB - ERRATA   

(Some of these have been corrected in later printing,
so not all may appear in a particular copy of the book.)

p 26, p6.m: in the "axis" command, 0 5 should be -0.1 5

p 34, l 4: ||u(x)-p(x)|| should be ||u-p||

p 46, (5.9) z - sqrt...  should be z + sqrt...

p 48, Thm 6: \phi_f should be \phi_u (3 times)

p 66, Program 15 and Output 15: 4/\pi^2 should be \pi^2/4

p 70, Program 16 and nearby discussion: x and y have been interchanged

p 72, displayed equation: 1/2 should be \pi/2

p 78, special formulas for endpoints: \hat v should be \hat V

p 79, top: the switch from p( ) to q( ) is unnecessary

p 85, Ex. 8.1: exponent 1/N should be 1/n.

p 99, Exercise 9.5: the boundary conditions in this problem are wrong 

p 108, l 5: <= should be >= (or the signs should be switched)

p 109, Program 26 and Output 26: 2/\pi/N should be 2N/\pi

p 109, after (10.4): "inverse" should be "reciprocal"

p 109, eq (10.4): a^3*t should be a^3*t/2, and 2a^2 should be a^2 twice
      in paragraph following

p 119, between displayed eqs: N_{\theta/2} should be {N_\theta}/2 (twice)

chap. 11: The reversed indexing used to define D2 and E2 is correct
          in Program 28, but this is not described in the text.

p 132, line above (12.9): d\theta is missing twice from equation involving dt

p 137, (13.4): u(-1,t) = -1, not 0

p 139, Program 34: in first comment line, u_xx should be eps*u_xx

p 139, Program 34: (v-x) can be replaced by v in line marked % Euler

p 140, Exercise 13.1: it should be specified that the problem is linear

p 143, Program 37: the definition of dt needs to be moved to before where it is used
                   (this has been fixed in the program online)

p 144, Exercise 13.2: Output/Program 32 should be 34

p 155, [BaBe00]: this label should be [BaBe99]

I am grateful to Prof. Jean-Paul Berrut of the University of Fribourg,
Switzerland for finding many of these errors.
