I really like this amazing work and thank you for your sharing this book!

I have a problem with the implicit form of the hyperboloid: It is x^2+y^2-z^2=-1, which means that it is a two-sheet hyperboloid. But the parametric form shows that it is generated by a rotating line passing through points (x1,y1,z1) and (x2,y2,z2), which should be a one-sheet hyperboloid. Maybe the implicit form of the hyperboloid should be changed to x^2+y^2-z^2=1 for consistency.

Maybe Figure 3.14 and its caption are inconsistent with the text. It should be: Left to the line: e(p)>0 Right to the line: e(p)<0 On the line: e(p)=0

Maybe you mean that "......the kth and PREV(k)th edges of the kth child need to be set"—— "ith child" should be changed to "kth child".

With e_b=255, non-zero significand bits correspond to special NaN values...

It should be "e=255" rather than "e_b=255".

Hi @kanition, Fellow reader here. In the preface, the book states

As with earlier versions of the book, please send an email to authors@pbrt.org if you see any errors in the text or in the online conversion of it.

I recommend shooting them an email with this issue linked, if you haven't already.
