William Stein -- Talk for Mathematics is a long conversation: a celebration of Barry Mazur
Hi William,12A reader of our draft left me an annotated copy of it with some queries and corrections. From the 'queries,' I became convinced that we need a new little chapter giving a full and enlightening discussion of the word 'spectrum.' Along with that, we seem to need a definition of 'multiplicity,' and also a fuller explanation of why \sqrt accuracy is the gold standard. I'll try to write these. But here, also, are a dozen typos that I recorded from the marginal annotation. I hope they're easy to figure out and correct our draft .34x 1) page 6, line 6: insert 'reading' instead of 'read'56x 2) page 7, line 10: replace "phenomenology that links" by "the link between"78x 3) page 7, line 13: replace "complex analysis" by "familiarity with complex analytic functions"910x 4) page 23, line 9: 'numbers' instead of 'number'1112x 5) page 31, line 6: replace 'of course, could' by : 'of course, we could'1314NO -- not using "the fact that" to add another is one of main points of Strunk&White 6) page 38, line 2 from bot: replace 'use that' by 'use the fact that'1516x 7)* page 42, bot: Explain why sqrt error is natural.
