the typos in princeton's "cracking the gre math" b

as i'm sure many of you know, princeton's book is littered with typos, some more serious than others. i was wondering if anyone has found or compiled a list of these typos online? if so, it would serve as a useful reference and catch-all. if you know of anything out there, please point the way.

I have a small list. Let me know if you need it. Feels like there's no one on this board, so I don't want to waste time unless someone actually answers.

I would like the list. Could you please email it to josh -at- caltech -dot- edu? Thanks a bunch.

Would it be too much trouble for you to post those errors? I'm sure anyone using the book would like to see that list. I certainly would.

I can do it on here or I can email it to you (like I did with the previous guy). Just reply once so I know you are still checking this forum....

Since so many people have replied, here is the list

I haven't gone through the entire book yet, but so far this is what I have found (if I misread or am completely wrong about my correction, I apologize)

1) Page 21- Opposite angle identity should be cos(-x) = cos(x)
Page 21- Add/sub formulas should be cos(a+b) = cos(a)cos(b) - sin(a)sin(b)

2) Page 23- #3: No solutions are correct, so see the answer in the back for the
"real" problem"; #4: Should say "...expresses f(n+2)..."; answer (D) and (E) are
the same.

3) Page 28- #16: Should be "x^3 - 3x^2 + 6x -4 = 0 "

4) Page 93- #17: Should be f'(1) = -1

5) Page 342- #38: Should be "if n = 1" (not n = -1)
