## Errata.

Please see this list for the errata reported before June 2010. Here are the errata that have been reported since November 2011. For brevity, we have suppressed the spelling and grammatical errors. This list is for errors in the text. Errors in web content are just fixed when reported; errata in lectures are listed here.

• 9. Coefficient in third term on line 5 should be 1/12 (Steve Kroon 10/4/13)

• 32. Last two elements in $G^[3]$ are incorrect (missing root nodes in inner sequences). (Santiago Castro, 3/22/14)

• 44. Add the condition that $gcd(\cal T) = 1$ on line 4. (Pablo Rotondo, 6/8/14)

• 86. Last line of Note I.60 needs recasting (especially fonts) (Bruno Salvy, 5/25/13)

Should be $$\sum_{k\geq 0} \sum\limits_{\beta \in \mathcal B_k}\epsilon_{\beta} \times \hbox{ Suc}_{k}(\mathcal C)$$ where each $\epsilon_\beta$ is a neutral class $\forall \ \beta \in \mathcal B$.

• 496. $y_1,(z)$ -> $y_1(z)$ on line -7 (Don Knuth, 9/29/14)

• 497. Catalan curve should be smooth (replace low-res image) (Don Knuth, 9/29/14)

• 510. "can be regarded as" -> "is" in line following (95) (Don Knuth, 9/29/14)

• 510. Discussion between (96) and Proposition VII.9 is unnecessary because the BGF in the bottom line of page 510 is an immediate consequence of (92) and (96), and then the formula for F(z) follows directly if we set $u=0$. (Don Knuth, 9/29/14)

• 510. Add explanation of why the simultaneous linear equations in (94) have a solution: the matrix of coefficients can be converted to a Vandermonde determinant (involving the distinct functions $u_0$, \dots, $u_{c-1}$) by simple column operations. The matrix of coefficients for the case $c=3$ makes this point clear. (Don Knuth, 9/29/14)

• 625.$\frac{1}{2\pi T}$ -> $\frac{\pi}{2T}$ in (11) since the constant is $$\frac{1}{2\pi} \int_{T\leq |t| \leq \pi} \frac{1}{|1-e^{it}|} dt \leq \frac{1}{2\pi} \int_{T\leq |t| \leq \pi} \frac{\pi}{2 |t|} \leq \frac{1}{4T} 2(\pi-T) \leq \frac{\pi}{2T}$$ (Daniel Krenn, 2/7/13)

• 682. $(z,u)=(\rho,\tau)$ -> $(z,\tau)=(\rho,1)$ on line 23 (Daniel Krenn, 2/7/13)
