1: 21.1 Special Notation
g , h positive integers.
a b intersection index of a and b , two cycles lying on a closed surface. a b = 0 if a and b do not intersect. Otherwise a b gets an additive contribution from every intersection point. This contribution is 1 if the basis of the tangent vectors of the a and b cycles (§21.7(i)) at the point of intersection is positively oriented; otherwise it is 1 .

The pair of vectors { 𝐟 , 𝐚 } The slope of the curve at ( x 0 , y 0 ) is tangent to the line between ( x 0 , y 0 ) and ( x 1 , y 1 ) ; similarly the slope at ( x 3 , y 3 ) is tangent to the line between x 2 , y 2 and x 3 , y 3 . …

  • Chapter 1 Additions

    The following additions were made in Chapter 1:

  • Subsection 19.11(i)

    A sentence and unnumbered equation

    R C ( γ δ , γ ) = 1 δ arctan ( δ sin θ sin ϕ sin ψ α 2 1 α 2 cos θ cos ϕ cos ψ ) ,

    were added which indicate that care must be taken with the multivalued functions in (19.11.5). See (Cayley, 1961, pp. 103-106).

    Suggested by Albert Groenenboom.

  • Equation (36.2.18), Subsections §§36.12(i), 36.15(i), 36.15(ii)

    The vector at the origin, previously given as 0 , has been clarified to read 𝟎 .

  • Equations (4.45.8), (4.45.9)

    These equations have been rewritten to improve the numerical computation of arctan x .

  • Equation (21.3.4)
    21.3.4 θ [ 𝜶 + 𝐦 1 𝜷 + 𝐦 2 ] ( 𝐳 | 𝛀 ) = e 2 π i 𝜶 𝐦 2 θ [ 𝜶 𝜷 ] ( 𝐳 | 𝛀 )

    Originally the vector 𝐦 2 on the right-hand side was given incorrectly as 𝐦 1 .
