My robotics text book is selling so well that the publishers are planning a reprint later this year. Introduction to Robotics, Phillip John McKerrow, Addison-Wesley Publishers 811 pages, 1991 ISBN 0-201-18240-8 I have found a few typos in the book and I am about to start another proof read. I have found that others are better at finding typos and math typesetting errors than I am. If you have found any errors I will greatly appreciate it if you can send me details either by email or fax. I hope to make my book better by removing all the errors that we can find. I appologise for any errors in my book. I have found 4 sources of errors in publishing a book: 1. When I proof read I tend to read what I think I have written rather than what is on the page. 2. The publisher decided to re type the whole manuscript, even though I supplied them with electronic copy. The equations had to be reset, but retyping the text introduced errors. 3. The copy editing left a lot to be desired. This is my only complaint with the publisher. 4. My poor spelling. Thank you for your interest. If anyone wants a list of corrections please email me and I will send you a complete list in a couple of months when I have finished compiling them. Thankyou Phillip McKerrow Department of Computer Science The University of Wollongong Wollongong, NSW 2500 AUSTRALIA Phone 61 42 213771 Fax 61 42 213262
