The following pages contain
the list of corrections and additions
for the first reprinting. I should like to thank
Robin Chapman of Exeter (first mistake spotted),

Some bats have a mechanism for making themselves
temporarily deaf when emitting sound bursts.
(See~[260], a book evidently written by a man
who has never seen a bat he did not love.)
They use high frequency sound because their prey
is small.

\noindent
According to Arnol'd in~[264],
Kolmogorov started as a student of history.
His first paper, written when he was seventeen,
concerned the mediaeval tax records in Novgorod.
After he had presented his conclusions
to a seminar he asked the historian in charge
whether he agreed with them. `Young man,'
the professor said, `in history we need
at least five proofs for any conclusion.'
Next day, Kolmogorov switched to mathematics.


{\sf Side note on page 221}

When we talked about oxygen absorption we assumed
that the area for absorption $A$ was related to
the volume $V$ of an animal in the same way
as the surface area of a sphere is related to
its volume so that $A\propto V^{2/3}$. But we
noted on page 218 that lungs look very `fractal'.
If the surface of the lung has 
`Richardson number' different
from the surface of a sphere then 
we would have $A\propto V^{\beta}$ with
$\beta\neq 2/3$ and the slope of the
mouse-elephant curve becomes easier to explain.
(See pages 342-5 of [261].)

However, most of those whose opinions I respect
reject Penrose's views on the nature of human thought
`not because they are crazy,
but because they are not crazy enough'.

If you wish to write complex formulae,
I strongly recommend Gr\"{a}tzer's
\emph{Math Into \LaTeX}~[263].

\noindent
Hacker lore says that two heads are faster than one
and three heads slightly faster than two. Thereafter,
adding manpower to a software project actually makes it slower.
The only way to speed up a project is to use cleverer
people. Hence the \emph{three Knuth rule}. If three
Knuths working together cannot do it, it cannot be done.

According to materials scientists, when molten
glass cools it remains a liquid but one whose coefficient
of viscosity increases as the temperature decreases.
Thus we can blow glass at high temperatures,
mold it at lower temperatures and so on.
However, the demonstration of liquid properties
for glass at room temperature lies at the very
edge of modern experimental technique.

{\sf Page 126, add at end of first side note}
The treatment of dimension I have given
follows the traditional pattern in glossing over
certain points. In~[261] Barenblatt takes a more
modern approach and shows that, if we think a
little harder, we can understand a lot more.

\noindent{\bf Proof} \emph{(i)} Note first that, 
since $0\leq u\leq 1/2$, we have
\[\frac{u}{1-u}\leq 1.\]
Thus, by the binomial theorem,
\begin{align*}
1&=(u+(1-u))^{N}=\sum_{r=0}^{N}\binom{N}{r}u^{r}(1-u)^{N-r}\\
&\geq \sum_{r=0}^{uN}\binom{N}{r}u^{r}(1-u)^{N-r}
= (1-u)^{N}\sum_{r=0}^{uN}\binom{N}{r}
\left(\frac{u}{1-u}\right)^{r}\\
&\geq (1-u)^{N}\sum_{r=0}^{uN}\binom{N}{r}
\left(\frac{u}{1-u}\right)^{uN}
=u^{uN}(1-u)^{(1-u)N}\sum_{r=0}^{uN}\binom{N}{r}.
\end{align*}
Multiplying both sides of the inequality by $u^{-uN}(1-u)^{-(1-u)N}$
we have the result.
