• page 25, equation 2.25: change sign of numerator
• page 25, just above equation 2.28 an extra factor of B needs to be added to both sides of the expression following "In small applied fields"
• page 30, insert µ_B before <0| in equation 2.48 and µ₀ after 2 in the first term in equation 2.49
• page 34, Table 2.2, the term symbol for Sm³⁺ should be ⁶H_5/2 (not ⁶I_5/2)
• page 35, penultimate paragraph delete "angular" (appears twice)
• page 72, problem (3.5) line 3, change eqn. 2.9 to eqn. 2.38
• page 87, penultimate paragraph M_s should be M throughout.
• page 89, RHS of equation 5.11 needs a factor of 1/T
• page 143, in the line before equation (7.14), the deficit of electrons with spin-down should be prepended with a minus sign, i.e. -n_downarrow=(1/2)g(E_F)µ_BB.
• page 144, equation 7.23 is missing a factor of µ_B on the RHS
• page 176, the formula for the phone number compound should end O₄₁
• page 196: Table A.1: the cgs unit of flux is G cm², not G cm^-2
• page 210: Eqn. C.56, m_e should be squared; Eqn. C.59, a 1/(m_e²c²) term is missing.
• page 223: cos⁴, not cos² in Equation F.21
