[vtkusers] [vtk-developers] VTK Textbook Efforts Update

[Chiranjib Sur]

Hi,
At this point to time how can we help in proof reading and update the
observation (any repository to add the feedback?)?

For example, I found there is typo in Eq 3.7. The component t_z in the T_T
matrix is replaced by ZERO. It should be t_z. (See the screen shot below)






Thanks and regards,
Chiranjib
