Errata List for Integrated Calculus

Last updated Oct. 20, 2004

It may seem that there are an awful lot of errors reported here, but in my defense I offer this modification of a famous quote by Walter Mondale: Other calculus books are full of typos, and so is mine. They won't tell you about it; I just did.

Chapter 0

• Section 0.1, page 7, Figure 0.5: The "dot" at 0 should be closed, not open; in other words, the interval being shown is supposed to be [0,infinity).

(Note this has only two limits, not four as in the original problem.) Then change the answer to (a) no (since not continuous at x = 0), (b) no.
