Default ASM Manual (9th edition) errors?

Does anyone notice that there are many errors in the manual?

I've noticed formulas written, that don't match up to the references from previous sections, as well answers that don't follow the question.

I noticed this only a few occasions, but it drove me crazy.

Who else notices this?

Have you checked the errata list?

There is an errata located at aceyourexams.net, which needs to be immidiately consulted after acquiring your ASM manual.

I noticed this same issue and brought it up in this topic: http://www.actuarialoutpost.com/actu...d.php?t=204769

Sadly, it doesn't look like there will be a noticeable effort to reduce the mistakes in the future.

Hope this was helpful.
