More serious errors:

page 48, eq. (2.43), the - sign between the delta-R terms should be +, i.e. (RAB - RAB0) + (RBC - RBC0)

page 104, eq. (3.64), the (r+R)2 in the exponent should be (r-R)2 (three places for RA, RB and RC), and the exponent for (2/pi) in the expression for K should be 3/2, not 2

page 114, eq. (3.79), the index order for the two Coulomb type integrals under the square-root signs on the right-hand side should be <alpha,gamma|alpha,gamma> and <beta,delta|beta,delta>, respectively. Alternatively, if the backet notation is replaced with the Mulliken notation, eq. (3.62), then all the index orders are correct.

page 117, eq. (3.82), there should not be c-coefficients on the right-hand side. It is not clearly stated which fitting metric that is used for eq. (3.82) and the integral notation is therefore ambigous. If the Coulomb metric is used, all integrals should be interpreted as having the g operator included. Furthermore, if the three-index bracket notation is taken to indicate electron order <12|1> and <1|12>, this then requires that the subscript order for the integrals are: alpha, k, gamma and beta, delta, l, respectively. Alternatively, if the backet notation is replaced with the Mulliken notation, eq. (3.62), then all the index orders are correct.

page 136, eq. (4.21), Slater determinant number 3: the subscripts on the two right-most orbitals should be 2 instead of 1

page 138, (4.29), third line should read: [chiAchiA - chiBchiB](alpha.beta - beta.alpha) - [chiAchiB - chiBchiA](alpha.beta + beta.alpha)

page 138, (4.29), fourth line should read: -[chiAchiA - chiBchiB](alpha.beta - beta.alpha) - [chiAchiB - chiBchiA](alpha.beta + beta.alpha)

page 138, (4.31), a minus sign is missing, or change to (chiBchiA - chiAchiB)(alpha.beta + beta.alpha)

page 150, (4.44), the lower bound for the sum should be 1, not 0, i.e. k,l=1

page 331: eqs. (10.37) and (10.38): eq. (10.37) should define only the electronic contribution, and only to a single orbital, i.e. rhoA,i = sum over alpha (Mbasis), sum over beta (Mbasis) of calpha,icbeta,iSalpha,beta. Eq. (10.38) should then define the localization quantity as a sum over orbitals i (Norb) and atoms A over rhoA,i squared.

page 471, Table 15.1, the NVT ensemble should have X marks under N,V,T, not under N,T,E

page 566, eq (17.99), the right hand side should be cf not cx

Minor errors:

page 23, eq. (2.5), the k in eq. (2.5) is the force constant when the Taylor factor of 1/2 is written explicitly, in contrast to the (second order) force constants k2AB in eqs. (2.3), (2.4) and (2.6) where the factor is included in the constant. This is formally correct, as k in eq. (2.5) is not stated to be the same as k2AB but this should have been made clear. Eq. (2.5) could be written as sqrt(k2AB/D) to be consistent.

page 416, just after (13.31), z = e-x should be z = ex

page 518, "...explaining the stereochemistry of the Diels-Alder... should be "...explaining the regiochemistry of the Diels-Alder..."

page 518, the FMO coefficient products given should be raised to the second power to be consistent with the equation, i.e. 0.690 and 0.680 should be 0.477 and 0.463. Similarly, the 0.685 and 0.670 values should be 0.469 and 0.448
