The k's in the two displayed equations at the top should be upper case.

The diffusivity value for myosin should be 0.11, therefore the
time to cross 0.01 mm is 5 seconds and to cross 1 mm is 50,000
seconds.

The capacitance of the axon membrane is about 1 microfarad; this is
1 times 10 to the MINUS 6th power farad.

The file exer964.m in Problem 5 should be

Yprime=[-k1*Y(1)+km1*Y(2); k1*Y(1)-(km1+k2)*Y(2); k2*Y(2)];

(km1 in place of k1).

In the displayed equation for minus A inverse f the first component
of f should be 493/10.

The Jacobian was computed with a different set of parameters,
namely h=1.1, rho=0.024, R=0.86, tau=0.38. When computed with
the values in Table 11.4.1 the Jacobian is

[-0.04    0.222    0.032   -0.045]

[-0.23   -0.107   -2.129   -0.478]

[ 0.28   -0.114    2.097    0.523]





Maple code to compute the Jacobian is

restart;with(linalg):

beta:=h/(exp(h*tau)-1);

RHSmatrix:=matrix([

  [-h,rho,beta],

  [h,-rho-r,0],

  [0,r,-beta],

  [1,1,1]

  ]);

Z:=vector([0,0,0,1]);

eSol:=linsolve(RHSmatrix,Z,'rnk',v);

jc:=jacobian(eSol,[h,rho,r,tau]);

evalf(subs([h=1.99,rho=.074,r=.113,tau=1.5],evalm(jc)));

At the top of the page, the coefficient c sub 5 should be
c sub 6.
