    Excelent edition for teaching and learning.
    Error report: The angles in Figure (50) spherical coordinate system are interchanged. As they are now in the figure, the related conversion expressions between spherical and cartesian coordinates are wrong.

    Excellent edition for teaching and learning --
    Error report: The angles in Figure (50) spherical coordinate system are interchanged. This can be proved by interchanghing the angle symbols in te related expressions for converting from spherical to Cartesian system.

    Hi Jaime,
    You are right. I will post a new revision later today fixing this error, and a couple more. Page 30 transformation matrix diagonal numbers needed to be "1" instead of "0" and in page 9 the "axb" example calculation had a typo.
    Thanks for the report.
