content: Reading 3rd Edition on Kindle, the text and footnotes make frequent reference to Chapter 2x. Is there really a Chapter 2x? Or is this some artifact from the Kindle layout? Are references in the print Edition the same? Where is this really cool Chapter?Sent from my SM-T810 using Tapatalk

"The given answer above explains the -x chapters as part of an upcoming, already written but not yet released book. I expect you'll find identical references in the printed version.Sent from my SM-T810 using Tapatalk

content: Quote from: mikewhy on September 23, 2017, 08:33:15 pmThanks. Indeed my printed copy has the same erroneous cross-references. They are not, however, references to a chapter twentysomething, but rather to chapter two-point-something. For example, a few pages later a footnote says to refer to chapter 2x for more discussion of current sources and current mirrors. Current mirrors are discussed on pp 101-105 or so, just a few pages later, still within chapter 2.I’ll have to check whether the errata on the AoE website has been updated to reflect these.In any case, I hadn’t noticed these errors until you mentioned them. Yet another disappointing lack of quality control in this book.

content: Quote from: tooki on September 24, 2017, 06:00:54 pmThe reference to chapter 2x does not refer to chapter twenty-something nor to chapter 2-point-something. It refers to an as-yet-unreleased companion book (the x-chapters) that contains more detailed information. Refer to the last paragraph in the preface, page XXIX.In this case, while current mirrors may have been discussed a few pages later, they will certainly be covered in greater depth in the x-chapters.

It’s already about fifty percent written with figures and everything else already.
