Typo: Section 8.1 at log(1+x) #21

In example 8.2, after integrating, there is a (-1)^{n+1} factor missing in \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{x^n}{n}.

A period seems to be missing as well (to end that sentence).

Good catch. Added to the errata page. No idea how that's persisted for so long. We're starting classes this week, but once things settle down from that, I'm considering having a "locked" 2016 HTML version posted that matches the print version 100% as well as an interim version that fixes little typos like this.

I understand having an HTML version that has identical content to the print version, but I don't see why that version can't have fixed typos. (More specifically, I suggest having the interim version at the official URL. If you want to have the locked version, people should have to go there intentionally.)
