P.106, Par.1 and 2, sa, sb, na, nb, phia, and phib should be subscript a and b.

P.124, Par.4 An should be subscript n.

P.137, Par.2, replace sr by sr with subscript r.

P.137, replace first equations by {s}_{\bar{y}}=s/\sqrt{N}

P.140, replace /delta by /partial on this page.

P.146, Figure 4.1, y-intercept on the left and in the equation
must be the same, 21.2 according to the figure caption.

P.160, last Par., change to "The p-value of 0.1481 indicates that we cannot reject the null hypothesis that the residuals follow a Gaussian distribution."

P.163, Figure 4.7b erroneously shows the result from the previous section 4.5. Here you should see the plot generated by the code on the same page.

P.173, Par.2, change "Classical regression ..." by "Log-transforming the y-values has two important consequences that can influence the result. First, if the relationship between the data is of the type y=a0+a1∙ex, then logarithmizing y-values in the form log(y) does not provide a complete linearization of the data because the parameters a0 and a1 are not ignored. Second, classical regression ...".

P.184, replace second equation by {X_{xx}}(f) = \sum\limits_{k = 0}^M {corr_{xx}(k)w(k)\;{e^{i2\pi fk/{f_s}}}}

P.184, 187, 200, replace "Fast Fourier Transformation" by "Fast Fourier Transform".

P.187, 190, replace xn by xns, also in recipes_5.m.

P.188, replace "If nfft is even" by "If x is real".

P.206, Par.2, in "z is (1-exp(-z))M." the "M" should be superscript.

P.208-209, replace "significance" by "confidence". Replace variable "signif" by "confid".

P.329, 333f, 503, significance level of 95% should be 5%.

P.217, last Par., replace "mean" by "median".

P.270, Par.4, bi should be subscript i.

P.308, [LON,LAT] = meshgrid(35:1/1200:37,-1:1/1200:0);
should be [LON,LAT] = meshgrid(35:1/1200:37,0:1/1200:1);

P.315, Par.2 and Fig. 7.5, the method described to select control points from a triangular mesh, inspired by the text of Swan and Sandilands (1995), is a valid technique but not a triangulation. Also the description of the Delaunay triangulation is not correct and should be removed.

P.315, replace "The z-value of the grid point is computed from the z-values of the three grid points." by "The z-value of the grid point is computed from the z-values of the control points at the vertices of the triangle."

P.334, replace equation for the standard error by { s }_{ e }=\frac { 0.26136 }{ \sqrt { { n }^{ 2 }/A }  } to correct the value of the numerator "0.27136" by "0.26136". The MATLAB code on P.335, however, is correct as it correctly uses "0.26136".

P.361, Fig. 7.23b, colorbar is scaled the wrong way round.

P.377, replace "colormap(hot)" by "colormap(hot(16))".

P.411, Figure 8.8, the colors of the graphic should be, from top to bottom: red, green, blue.

P.421, replace "We next determine the background of the lithic grains, which basically means the texture of the black foil on which the grains are located." by "We next determine the background of the image."

P.424, replace "ptheta parameter space" by "(theta,rho) parameter space".

P.447, replace first line of MATLAB code to compute newdata by newdata = V' * data'; also in recipes_9.m.
