Problem 4.3(a): The conversions should be x’ = m ω x, y’ = m ω y, and z’ = m ω z.

Problem 4.6(b): The reference to page 9 for the box on combinatorics should be to page 13.
Chapter 6

Eq. (6.23) should be
page 132
In Eqs. (6.69) and (6.73), the equations should read:
That is, the minus signs in front of the partial derivative of E with respect to V should not be there.
page 134
In the Thermodynamic Square box, the example used is dF but it should be dG. Thus,
dF = ( ) d p + ( ) dT
should be
dG = ( ) d p + ( ) dT
and after adding in the diagonal variables,
dF = V d p + S dT
should be
dG = V d p + S dT
Then with the proper signs,
dF = V d p – S dT
should be
dG = V d p – S dT
