page 97, eq. (3.60), the (r+R)2 in the exponent should be (r-R)2 (three places for RA, RB and RC), and the
exponent for (2/pi) in the expression for K should be 3/2, not 2
Page 375-378, Tables 11.23-11.28: in calculating the MAD as a measure of the performance of different
methods for calculating relative energies, the lowest energy isomer has (arbitrarily) been selected as the zero
point. Unfortunately, the MAD calculated in this fashion depends on which isomer is selected as the reference
structure. A better definition is to calculate the MAD relative to a reference energy defined as the average of
all the structures. This will lead to changes in the exact MAD values, although the conclusions regarding the
performance of different methods are unaffected.
Page 519, top: the text reads as if unitary and orthogonal matrices are defined by having determinants equal to
eitheta and +/- 1, respectively. This is not true. Although unitary and orthogonal matrices have this property,
the reverse is not true.
Page 532, eq. (16.60): there are missing indices on the f-function, the right hands side should read: dfx/dx +
dfy/dy + dfz/dz.
Page 532, eq. (16.61): there are missing indices on the f-function, the right hands side should read: ( (dfz/dy -
dfy/dz) (dfx/dz - dfz/dx) (dfy/dx - dfx/dy) ).
Minor errors:
Quite a number of misprints are present in the reference lists, and not all have been included in the list below
page 25, eq. (2.5), the k in eq. (2.5) is the force constant when the Taylor factor of 1/2 is written explicitly, in
contrast to the (second order) force constants k2AB in eqs. (2.3), (2.4) and (2.6) where the factor is included in
the constant. This is formally correct, as k in eq. (2.5) is not stated to be the same as k2AB but this should
have been made clear. Eq. (2.5) could be written as sqrt(k2AB/D) to be consistent.

Page 189, the N3basis scaling of QMC methods is actually N2occNbasis, thus the cubic scaling is only valid for
cases where the system is increased by adding more particles with a fixed basis set size

electrons ...'
Page 238, eq. (6.15): last gamma1 should be gamma2 and last r2 should be bold

dynamical and'

Page 286, eq. (8.35), last equation, the Darwin term has the wrong sign, i.e. the minus sign should be deleted
Page 294, eq. (9.7), last equation: the second overlap matrix S should be raised to the power +1/2, not -1/2

(1982) 637.
