Chapter 6 - Corrections

[entropidelic]

• Importing libraries:

  • Turing
  • Distributions
  • StatsPlots

• There should be more references for the formulas used. For the formula of escape velocity, Khatri, Poudel, Gautam, M.K., P.R., A.K. (2010). Principles of Physics. Kathmandu: Ayam Publication. pp. 170, 171. [ISBN]

• Some obvious writing errors like "velocity of escape" instead of "escape velocity".

• The arrow → over the letter means that the quantity have a direction in space, in our case, gravity is pointing to the center of the Earth, or Mars.

• But what are the trayectory of the proyectile? and how the coordinates x and y evolve with time?

  change to:

  But what is the trajectory of the projectile? and how do the coordinates x and y evolve with time?

• What the equations tell us?

  change to:

  What to these equations tell us?

• but how we interpret that?

  but how do we interpret that?

• Same comment as in Chapter 5 for the plotting and labels settings - We should stick to one way of doing this, in my opinion by setting the labels inside the plotting function. For example, instead of this:

  begin
      plot(Uniform(0,10),xlim=(-1,11), ylim=(0,0.2), legend=false, fill=(0, .5,:lightblue))
      title!("Uniform prior distribution for g")
      xlabel!("g_mars")
      ylabel!("Probability")
  end
  

  we should have this:

   plot(Uniform(0,10),xlim=(-1,11), ylim=(0,0.2), legend=false, fill=(0, .5,:lightblue), title="Uniform prior distribution for g", xlabel="g_mars", ylabel="Probability")
  

• g ∼ Distribution_to_be_proposed()

  This is not very nice, we can change that LaTeX equation to something like

  g ~ Proposed distribution

• Lots of typos and writing mistakes.
