Describe the mistake A sentence in the third paragraph of Example 7.7 (just before equation 7.61) is wrong.

Location

  1. version (bottom of page): Draft (2021-05-08)
  2. Chapter: 8
  3. page: 244
  4. line number/equation number: paragraph above 7.61

Proposed solution The sentence above equation 7.61 goes as follows: "Since the function is differentiable, we can find the maximum by taking the derivative and with respect to y setting it to zero.". It should instead be: "Since the function is differentiable, we can find the maximum by taking the derivative with respect to y and setting it to zero."
