Errata for "A Textbook on Analytic Geometry" by Mamelak

This page is a list of errata for the book "A Textbook on Analytic Geometry" by Joseph S. Mamelak. I have not read the entire book, in particular I skipped many of the exercises and the chapter on algorithms, so this list is unlikely to be comprehensive.

Page 14 L is missing from the diagram.

Page 22 In exercise 6(b), D should be (2,5).

Page 28 There is no (iii) in the proof in exercise 4.

Page 28 In exercise 6, \(PB\) seems to mean \(P_2B\).

Page 28 "angles" should be "angle"

Page 58 On the third line from the bottom, \(y-p\cos\beta/x-p\cos\alpha\) should be \((y-p\cos\beta)/(x-p\cos\alpha)\).
