Corrections Zorich

This document provides a very incomplete list of errata for two volumes of a mathematical analysis textbook by V.A. Zorich. It contains over 50 corrections to definitions, theorems, proofs, notations, and exercises across both volumes. The corrections include issues with definitions not matching standards, claims that are incorrect, notations that could cause confusion, missing mathematical symbols, and other technical errors in the text.

Corrections to Volume I
p. 19, Denition 1: A relation R between two sets X and Y is a subset of X Y . p. 35, l. -3: Replace the set of by a model of the. p. 50, Denition 4: Real numbers . . .. (Anyway, this way of dening rational numbers is just absurd.) p. 54. l. 11: Replace > by . p. 138, rst paragraph: Zorich is being vague here: grows approximately like. . .. Chebyshev proved two things: 1. there are numbers C1 , C2 such that C1 x x (x) C2 . ln x ln x

2. If limx x/ ln x exists then it must be equal to 1. p. 141, Denition 24: should be f = O(g) and g = O(f ). B B p. 169, Exercise 4 c): This claim is wrong! For a counterexample see W. M. Boyce: Commuting functions with no common xed point. Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 137, 77-92 (1969). p. 283, Theorem 2: It should be noted that this proof was given by C. Feerman (Amer. Math. Monthly 74, (1967)) when he was 18. p. 285, l. -8: Replace larger than by larger than or equal. p. 363, middle of the page: (x t) may be confusing. What is meant is the derivative w.r.t. t, thus 1. p. 397, l. -3: Replace g g by f g.

Corrections to Volume II
p. 1, Denition 1, b): Replace d(x2 , x2 ) by d(x2 , x1 ). p. 6, Denition 7 is non-standard. Should be: A point a X is a limit point of the set E X if every neighborhood O(a) of a contains a point of E other than a. (The given denition is not equivalent to the standard one for all metric spaces.) p. 18, Exercise 1 b): A metric space is compact i it is complete and totally bounded. Thus the exercise is not correct as stated. p. 20, Exercise 1 b): Not correct as stated! p. 24, Denition 5: change to complete metric space (Y, d). Furthermore, it is better to replace everywhere dense by dense since later on, mostly dense is used. 1

p. 26, Denition 5: change to A complete metric space . . .. p. 49 and following: The notation L(X, Y ) is used both for the set of all linear maps from X to Y (page 49) and for the set of bounded linear maps (Prop. 2 on page 57). Suggestion: Use L(X, Y ) for the linear and B(X, Y ) for the bounded linear maps. p. 73, rst line of Subsection 10.4.1: Replace several by one. p. 75: The statement of the Corollary is sloppy, since there are also hypotheses on x and h ! p. 81, Def. 2: The limit should be restricted to t > 0 in order (a) to be constistent with most of the literature, (b) to allow for (inward-directed) derivatives at the boundary and (c) because otherwise existence of the directional derivative can fail while one would intuitively expect it. p. 84, l. 11: Here the summation convention from volume I, p. 430, should be recalled. p. 84, l. -2: Replace 10.4 by 10.3. p. 90, formula (10.74): Replace L(x, f (x)f (x)) by L(x, f (x), f (x)). Similarly in (10.76). p. 123, l. 12: Replace

A p. 127, l. - 3 (not counting the footnotes): Correct the L TEX-mistake, writing

p. 134, exercise 5: The rst sentence should be: Let f (x, y) be a continuous function dened on the rectangle I = . . . having a continuous partial derivative f in I. y Section 11.5: The non-standard terminology of the same type should be replaced everywhere by a restatement of what is meant. Since this is not always the same (sometimes open, sometimes bounded open, etc.), this terminology is quite confusing. p. 138, l. 3-4: The formula should be suppf | det | = suppf = 1 (suppf ) (Thus a should be replaced by =.) p. 138, l. -5: At the end of the line, there is a ) missing in front of | =. p. 142, l. -6: Replace U (T ) by U (t). p. 143: Ii {Ii } is very ugly. It is better to replace {Ii } by I throughout the proof (three instances). p. 143, rst line of (11.14): Replace Ix Dx by Ix Dx as the domain of the second integral. p. 147, exercise 3, l. 3: Replace = by .
m n p. 163, l. 8: Replace I by I .

p. 176, l. 10: Replace tangent plant by tangent plane. p. 178, l. 9: Missing }. p. 178, l. 18: Replace homemorphic by homeomorphic. p. 187, l. -10: Replace becoms by becomes. p. 237, eq. (13.25): Replace Q Dy by Q dy. p. 242, eq. (13.30): Replace Dz by dz. 2

p. 367, Exam. 7: replace limt by limt0 . p. 379, eq. (16.12): replace sin x by | sin x |. 2 2 p. 382: In the diagram (16.17), replace the right vertical limit over by BX (instead of BT ). p. 403, l. 16: replace hh1 by hy1 . p. 452, rst paragraph: Using C0 (R) to denote functions of compact support is very non-standard. (Usually this denotes functions that decay at innity, while Cc (R) denotes the functions of compact support.) p. 453, Example 1: In order for (f )(x) to be dierentiable at x, f must be continuous in x and in x .
A p. 570, l. -6: L TEXerror around \index-command.

p. 590, Exercise 6: The formula M1 () = x||2 (x)dx is inconsistent with the denition Mn (f ) = xn f (x)dx on p. 589. The former should be replaced by M1 (||2 ) throughout the exercise.
