P67, A3.2:
Add parentheses to penultimate line:
if pk is not (left or on) (pi,pj)
^ ^
P106, T4.2, L3-4: The Schla:fli symbols in the {p,v} column for
the last two rows should be interchanged to:
Dodecahedron {5,3}
Icosahedron {3,5}
[(Thanks to Thom Goodsell and Dan Sunday.)]

P151, L2-3:
Take a zero-dimensional cube (a point) and ...
^^^^
producing a one-dimensional cube (a segment).
^^^
[I.e., change "one-" and "two-" to "zero-" and "one-" respectively.
(Thanks to Thom Goodsell)]

P190, L1:
"multications" should be "multiplications"

P195, last sentence of 2nd para. of proof, change + to - as follows:

...yields F = 1 + n^2 - n(n - 1)/2 = ...
[(Thanks to Christian Schmidt.)]

P236, C7.9, second clause of third if-statement should be:

( area0 < 0 ) && ( area1 < 0 ) && ( area2 < 0 ))
^
[I.e, change 1 to 0. This typo is not in the distributed code,
only in the text. (Thanks to Jeff Glickman.)]

P276, L-1; P277, L5, L7, L25; P278, A7.5:

"Algorithm 7.10.1" should be "Algorithm 7.4"
^^ ^
P305, T8.4.2:
For the R=convex and P=nonconvex line of the table,
"O(n^2 logn)" should be "O(n logn)".
