Here is a typo and I get it fixed. However, I don't have the inkscape in my mac and I have failed to install it. So it depends on you whoever has the environment to rebuild the pdf Thank you

No, no. This is not a typo.

It's actually memoization ("caching of previous results", the name of the technique) rather than memoRization. We can argue that memoization is one special case of memoRization (and this is correct), but the name of the technique has stuck and there's no changing back.

well, it seems like that I have made a mistake. there is a jargon called "memoised" in CS field: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memoization:

The term "memoization" was coined by Donald Michie in 1968
