Errata
It's inevitable: errors and confusing statements will be discovered. Here are the one's I've found so far.
What's so obvious? p. 87
"The interaction energy and pressure are obvious to the chain length"
should be
"The interaction energy and pressure are oblivious to the chain length"
Stokes diffusion benchmark p. 94, Feb 8, 2005
"A sphere of radius $R = 6.1 nm diffuses its own radius in 1 microsecond"
should be
"A sphere of radius $R = 11 nm diffuses its own radius in 1 microsecond"
Damping of Jello p. 103
...while the polymer network wants to reduce its volume.
should be
while the polymer network wants to increase its volume.
This change has no effect on the calculation, since this depends only on the magnitude of the flow, not its direction.
mystery c-1 , p 115
...to have a nonzero moment c1
should be
...to have a nonzero moment \mu1
ie. the c should be a greek mu.
