FOR FIRST PRINTING
As with any major printing, some errors were discovered after the document was printed. We posted errata notices here while we prepared the second printing. Now that the second printing is available,
you can download all of the changed pages from the frist printing by right clicking here and saving the pdf file.

PROCEDURE TO COPY TABLES OR GRAPHICS FROM THE BELT BOOK CD The tables, formulas, and graphics in the CD are at 600 DPI. If you wish to copy any of them for use in another document or presentation, use the graphics select feature in the Adobe Acrobat Reader to outline the item you wish to copy. Then use the zoom feature to enlarge the item you wish to copy. Then copy and paste it to the application. You will see that the clarity of the pasted item is a function of the screen enlargement you used.
In the Sixth Edition there are some references to information in Chapter 6 of the Fifth Edition. To download a copy of Chapter 6, Fifth Edition, Click Here.
