%   \mathcal{\hat{P}} in the second note to p303 may need fixing

\section{Typographical Errors}

on page 39:
\begin{itemize}
\item equation 1.6a: ``$u~ \in L^2(\Omega)^2$'' should read
``$u~ \in L^2(\Omega)^n$ where $n$ is 2 or 3''
\end{itemize}

\section{Annotations}

note: in equation 1.6, $div V~ = W$
