Errata

  1. p. 47, Exercise 4.7. Assume that if p | q1…qn and p, q1, …, qn are all prime, then p = qi for some i.
  2. p. 122, Exercise 12.6(a): Actually the formula is unsatisfiable, since the second conjunct is self-contradictory if u=v. Excercise 12.7: Change the first line to  ∀x∀y(x≠y ⇒ (P(x,y) ⇔ P(y,x))).
  3. p. 145. The term "equivalence class" is used in the statement of Theorem 14.2 but not defined until the summary on p. 147.
  4. p. 195, caption of Figure 19.10. "NFA" -> "NDFA".
  5. p, 299. Delete the word "Add" from the statement of Theorem 26.4.
  6. p. 336, first line of equation (29.1). An equals sign is missing just before the large left parenthesis.
