Printing Options

For those in the class, please download the textbook and use it frequently. I also recommend printing off a copy of it. Studies are showing that physical books help learning much more than do electronic books. If you think about how much textbooks cost in relation to tuition, getting this printed off is a small price to pay for such an increase in efficiency.

Knox College students are close to the neighborhood UPS Store ([phone]309-344-4877) on the corner of Seminary and Main Street. The cost to have them print the book in black and white is about $50 (10¢ per page). In color, the price is about $250 (50¢ per page).

In addition to the UPS Store, Galesburg has a branch of Allegra Marketing ([phone]309-343-1418) on the corner of Henderson and Grove. I have not checked the prices for printing here. I expect them to be about the same as for the UPS Store.

Also note that Knox College will allow you to print the book using your printing account. Depending on the printer, the book will cost about $30 in black and white (6¢ per page) and $150 in color (30¢ per page). However, you will forego supporting a neighborhood business. Thriving neighborhood businesses help keep Galesburg thriving.

[The Errata]
Errata

Unfortunately, the vast majority of textbooks have errors in them. The following is a list of the known errors in this edition. This is called an “errata list.” Hopefully, it remains empty. Should there be errors, they will be included in the θ version of the book in Summer 2025.

Page(s) Severity Error/Comment
559 ★☆☆☆☆ The second case of the proof should be listed as π < 0.500 since the first case dealt with π > 0.500. It is currently listed as π > 0.500.
