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: In exercise 8, "angles" should be "angle"

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

Page 64: On line 7, in equation 5.5:1, \(y_2\) should be \(y_1\). There is no \(y_2\).

Page 78: In question 35 (a), \(qx=py\) should be \(qx=sy\).

Page 81: There is no variable \(e_1\) in equation (iii), so the \(e_1\)s on line 7 should be just \(e\).
