Corrections to Calculus Applied to the Real World, First Printing

For Corrections to the combined book, Finite Mathematics and Calculus Applied to the Real World, press here.

Together with Addison Wesley Longman, we are in the process of eliminating typos and errors from subsequent printings of the Real World series. In the meantime, we hope that this listing of corrections to the first printing will be helpful to instructors and students using the text. (Changes are marked in color.)
