DIRECT example 7.2 center values (incorrect) #20

Closed mossr closed 4 years ago

mossr commented 4 years ago

Chapter 7, page 122, example 7.2 for DIRECT: the values for the center column in the table show 0.25 and 0.75, when the actual centers are at 1/6 and 5/6, respectively (unless I'm misinterpreting something).

e.g., the center for interval 1 says [0.25, 0.50] when the actual center is [1/6, 1/2].

Yes, I think you're right. I'll fix this. @tawheeler you agree?

That's right!
