  Corrections to Project 1

  I am sorry to inform you that I made a few typos when copying the formulas to my Latex file. These have already been corrected in the uploaded pdf file.

  • In equation (2.1b): where it says P₁ it should say P_i
  • In equation (2.3c): where it says -4(X_T2 it should say -(X_T2
  • In equation (2.4a): where it says +Y_P1 it should say -Y_P1
  • In equation (2.4e): where it says 4(X_T2 - X_P2) it should say (X_T2 - X_P2)

  There was also a mistake in the original paper.

  • In the triangle of fig. 2.1: where it says T_2i it should say T_i
