Chapter 1
- Exercise 1.4: Until this point, demonstrated functions have a single argument and a single return value. The reader won't see until the start of Chapter 4 (pg 36) that type definitions have a
->between all types, rather than the arrow separating the arguments from the return values.
Chapter 3
- page 23 (missing text in square brackets): "Here b is an expression of type Bool called the condition[, c] is called the consequent[, and a] is called the alternative."
Chapter 4
- Exercise 4.1 only comes out correctly if f(x) is written with
1/2and not as 0.5 because the latter introduces floating point approximation/truncation issues regardless of what dt is provided toderivative.
