‘+ Page 10, Prob. 2.11: in the third line the proof assumes that g (which
in our case will be a_y) does not actually blow up at too faster than f
(in our case ¥) goes to zero. I don’t know how to fix this defect without
appealing to the analytic approach, where we find (Bq. 2.60) that ¥(z)
02s asymptotically like e~™"/2", and hence so too does a_y.
‘+ Page 10, Prob. 2.12: Because of the i and ~i insarted in He. 2.52 and 2.52,
respectively (see Corrections #2—June 1997), the expression fore at the
‘end of (a) should include a fector off. Also, add at the end of (a): “(The
signs are conventional.) In part (b), every V/fio should carry a factor of
4 (oe. insert ¢ three times in the Gist line, @* three times in the next kine,
and (~i)* in the boxed answer).
