Subject: Re: [AUDITORY] my Human and Machine Hearing book From: "Richard F. Lyon" <dicklyon@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2022 20:51:57 -0800--000000000000dcf32e05d56f726a Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable So, it turns out the publisher now has my book on "print on demand" status, with the 2018 corrections done, and is not willing to take more corrections =E2=80=93 but is willing to publish errata for the two different printings,= so I'll work on that. I haven't seen a copy with the corrections yet. I just ordered another off Amazon, where the number of copies available had gone from 10 to 0 after my last message here =E2=80=93 thanks to those who bough= t copies. So I'll see if the "corrected" version is getting through the pipeline yet. If anyone on the list wants to swap an old copy for a corrected copy, signed, I'm still willing, assuming I can get them. Publishing errata online will let me go into a lot more depth on some of my confusions in the book, like about the impulse invariance method of discrete-time filter design, which has some subtleties that I was confused about. The Japanese translation has most of the errors corrected, since most of the post-2018 errata came from the translator. https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4501557605?SubscriptionId=3DAKIAIBX3OSRN6HXD25S= Q Our internal course at Google has completed Part IV, and is starting Part V next week, finishing up by March, at a chapter every other week. With luck, I can eventually get videos released. It has been a lot of fun, working with "students" around the globe that I've never met in person. A good use of pandemic time.
