     I'm reading a book on particle physics by David J. Griffiths.   
     It's an excellent book and he's an excellent author, but he   
     writes   
      
   |With this ansätz, equation (5.4) can be written   
   . . .   
      
     (The correct spelling is "ansatz"). And at one point,   
      
   |The time independent Schrodinger equation can now be solved   
   . . .   
      
     (The correct spelling is "Schrödinger" and he normally uses   
     it, except at this very spot). Still I recommend all his books   
     on physics!
