Some <a id=””> tags in the book were causing large sections of text to turn blue. These tags were removed. In addition, all of the exercise questions were edited to ensure a consistent format. This involved putting the content into ordered lists and grouping questions and answers together.
Note: We are aware that there is some text missing in Chapter 20.4, that Chapter 14.1 is missing exercise questions, and that Chapter 14.2 and 14.3 have the same exercise questions. The author has been informed of these issues and we will update the book once we receive the corrections. |
