Pg 132 Paragraph 6, line 1: "parameter" should be "parameters". Pg 133 Paragraph 3, line 2: "Crossover frequency" should be "Crossovers". Pg 133 Paragraph 3, line 3: "The primary ..." and the rest of the paragraph should be rewritten as: "Cross-breeding is controlled by the Crossovers setting, which determines the amount of intermingling of features on the same string to create new structures. A setting of 1 means that two strings are crossed over at one point; a setting of 2 means that two strings are crossed over at two points. The maximum setting for Crossovers is 10 and the default is 1. The secondary mechanism for creating new structures is mutation. With mutation, structures are chosen at random, then features are randomly changed to new values. The mutation rate sets the percentage of structures which will undergo a mutation rather than a cross-breeding to create the new population. The maximum setting for mutation is 100%. Mutation is always in place of cross-breeding; the two never occur at the same time on a single structure. The default setting for mutation rate is 10%." Pg 136 Paragraph 2, lines 2 & 4: "Average Error" should be "RMS Error". Pg 145 Paragraph 4, line 2: "neurans" should be "neuron's".

Pg 175 At "Maximum number of rows is 6550" add a reference to the addenda for Neuralyst v1.41: Excel 95 and later allow only 5450 elements. Pg 187 Paragraph 2, line 3: Our area code has changed.
