• page 23, caption of Fig. 2.9, 3th line: pair magnetic → pair of magnetic
• page 43, second line below Eq. (2.66): V_ne → V_ee
• page 47, 5th line: correction become less and less important → correction becomes less and less important
• page 76, 3rd paragraph, 4th line: we take the nuclei as stationary at a fixed positions
• page 83, 3rd line: energy Δ>0 → energy Δ>0
• page 86, three lines below Eq.(3.17): <n10|d_z |100> → <n, 1, 0|d_z |1, 0, 0>
• page 90, first line of Sect. 3.3.1: In an "adiabatic" transition with the electrons remaining → In an "adiabatic" experiment leaving the electrons
• page 98, problem 3.10, last 3 lines: for which the corrected rotational energy ε_rot(l) differs by 1% → starting from which the energy differs by 2.6%
• page 99, problem 3.13: 3.13^S
• page 140, line after Eq. (4.118): know → known

• page 168, caption of Fig. 5.26, second line: replace the first . with ,
• page 173, caption of Fig. 5.31, its inner-core electrons Spherical → their inner-core electrons. Spherical
• 
  page 172, panel d of Fig. 5.32 is incorrect (it reflects Si atoms spaced by 3 Å rather than 2 Å): the correct figure is the one at the right
• 
  page 173, the curves in Fig. 5.31, especially panel (b), are imprecise: the correct figure is the one at the right
• page 175, second line of the text: |k| → k
• page 207, 15 lines after Eq. (5.60) and phonon become → and phonons become
• page 207, 19 lines after Eq. (5.60) is is → it is
• page 218, line 2 inhomogeneous semiconductor include → inhomogeneous semiconductors include
• page 260, second line of Sect. C.5: )
• page 274, the 2 lines above Eq. (C.78) μ/μ_B and -J/ℏ → ⟨μ⟩/μ_B and -⟨J⟩/ℏ
• page 280, solution to problem 3.10, last line: the result would be l=8 → the result would be l=14
