The two tick marks should be 1Mpc and 2Mpc. I have no idea why the version of
the plot I used has the units messed up. | Chung-Pei Ma |

x >> 1.

For high x, the abundance becomes exponentially suppressed, not low x
as currently written.

Note that the annihlation cross section -- of order 1/10 of a picobarn -- is quite a bit

the *reciprocal* of tau is equal to the expression
with the phase integral | Roger O'Brient |
| Page 83 , Eq. 3.68 | The units are wrong
because I left out a factor of n_H [=(1-x_e)n_b under our assumptions]
in the denominator. Needless to say, the Peebles paper I was [mis]quoting from
got it right.

I didn't explain why (1-2\Psi) was set to one in the first term on the right [this is explained after the next
equation]. This is of course the linear approximation. Also, there [in my edition] are two dots right after this equation.
Weird. | Sergio Palomares-Ruiz |

"stresses" spelled wrong | Sergio Palomares-Ruiz |
| Page 175 (thanks to Chris Gordon for pointing out an error in this erratum!), part (e) of Exercise (2) |
Eq. (6.12) cannot be used to derive (6.110).
(6.12) was derived from (6.10), which in turn came by setting \Psi=-\Phi in Eq. (6.6).
In the text, we were content to ignore anisotropic stress, so this approximation is ok.
In the exercise, you are asked to go beyond this, so you must start again from (6.6)
maintaining the distinction between \Psi and \Phi. | Tristan Smith |

Too many "in"s.

we actually recognize this as 3\delta/(2y+2)y. I.e., the y should be
in the denominator not numerator.
| Donghui Jeong |
| Page 201 , Eq 7.60 |
The second term in brackets on the right should be 6y not 3y. Apparently
this mistake does not propagate to later equations; the later ones are
correct.

A \Phi_p is missing from the RHS: C_1 is proportional to \Phi_p.

I believe that I've left out a factor of 1/(2\pi)^3 when computing the number of all Fourier vectors in a spherical
shell. This missing factor shows up in the 2 eqns mentioned, so the Fisher matrix is smaller by this amount, and the error
on the power spectrum larger by a factor of (2\pi)^{3/2}. It's a big mistake, and I came across it by comparing with
the very interesting paper of Rimes & Hamilton. Please let me know if
you disagree. | |

"physical size" should replace "physical distance" | Sergio Palomares-Ruiz |

The integral is \sqrt\pi/4, Not \sqrt\pi/2. This is apparently just a typo
