Page 127, Table 7.38: 130 should be 135.
Page 194, Example 4.4: The array given in this example is wrong (apparently also wrong in the first edition). A correct array is here.
Page 254, Table 3.24: 10 should not be in the exception list for Q{01 mod 8} .
Page 254, Theorem 3.25: Q015 mod 8 should be the set of prime powers both >= 8 and \equiv 0,1, or 5 (mod 8).
Page 254, Table 3.26: In entry H{01(4)} \ {4,5}, '(8-61)' should read '(8-56) 60 61'.
Page 256, Theorem 4.6: In condition (1) the 3 should be a 4. Also, in condition (2) the (mod 4) should be (mod 3).
Page 268, Example 6.28: On the 4th line SQS(13) is incorrect, it should be S(2,4,13). On the 5th line SQS(40) is incorrect, it should be S(2,4,40).
Page 277, Table 1.50: The numbers 151 and 155 are listed twice. The numbers 71, 131, 165, and 213 should be added to the table.
Page 277, Table 1.51: The second item 63(3) should be replaced by 69(3).
Page 297, Theorem 3.18: 170 should be added to Theorem 3.18.
Page 317, Definition 7.42: Obviously, all the phaseshifts τ should be greater than zero in the definition of Barker sequences. So the correction should read: ... autocorrelation values ρs(τ) satisfy |ρs(τ) | ≤ 1 for all τ , 1 ≤ τ ≤ n-1.
Page 404, Theorem 16.68: In the 5th statement, "congruent to 1 (mod 12)" should be "congruent to 13 (mod 24)".
Page 405, Remark 16.69: The last sentence should begin:
Other base blocks are obtained by multiplying B by (1, ymn)
for y a primitive element in GF(q), m = (k-1) / (2
Page 405, Examples 16.70: The block for (v,k,
Page 417, Theorem 17.52 (1.): The list of possible exceptions should read "except possibly when (m,t) \in {(8,91), (8,7381)}".
Page 421, Example 18.17: The last entry in the difference set D' for the nonabelian group G should be a5b2 and not a5b.
Page 436 and 437, Proposition 19.9 and Example 19.10: "Golomb ruler" should be "optimal Golomb ruler".
Page 571, Table 44.32: This should read M(9,7)=504 instead of M(10,7)=504.
Page 583, Remarks 49.6(2) At the end of the third line there should be a right parenthesis.
Page 604, Example 51.95:. This should have stated that 32 teams qualify for the tournament and they are divided into 8 groups of 4 teams each for first round play. The last time that there were only 24 teams was in 1994.
Page 651, Table 61.33: The entry in row 1, column 8, of the table should read "14" instead of "13".
Page 811, Table 8.35: n is from 1 to 4, not to 5.
Page 920, Reference 976. The complete reference should read: Some results on designs with repeated blocks, Vol 20 (1982), 15-37. (The complete name of the journal is Rostocker Mathematisches Kolloquium).
