Unfortunately, the first printing of this new edition of the book has some errors. I have listed the errors below that are relevant for material we cover in CEE251. A more complete list of corrections is maintained by the authors on the web: http://surveying.wb.psu.edu/psu-surv/ES10thErrata.htm

q Inside cover, first page under LEVELING, change fist line to "0.574 = coefficient of expansion..."
q Page 61, Change second line to read, "By Equation (3-7), E90..." Change third line to read, "By Equation (3-8), E95..."
q Page 83, Example 4-1: Add a square (second power) to the term within the brackets so that equation reads hf = 0.0206 [(9585.26 x sin81°42’20”) / 1000 ] 2 = 1.85 ft
q Page 110, Example 5-2: In equation solution for C, insert a 3 between 0 and 2 such that the denominator reads 0.00328 ft/mm.
q Page 116, Figure 5-11: Change HI column numbers on row 7+00 and TP 2 from (362.77) and 368.80 to (363.77) and 363.80, respectively.
q Page 265, Problem 10-7: Change the distance AB from 17,429.50 to 1742.95.
q Page 265, Problem 10-9: Change the angle G from 254'32'10" to 254°32'10"
q Page 542, first paragraph, line 3: Change "equatorial semiaxis b" to "equatorial semiaxis a"
q Page 542, footnote 1, the equation for r should read as r = (a2b)1/3
q Page 612, Example 20-7, third line in solution: Change from Chapter 12 to Chapter 10
q Page 615-620: Cross out Equation 20-12 and write “see Equation 20-15” (In CEE251 we ignore δ”, the arc to chord correction, because it is insignificant for lines less than 8 km. I will explain.)
q Page 633, Figure 21-1: Change all ¥ symbols to ° (degree) symbols.
