What an enormous rip-off... The difference between the 2nd and 3rd editions was miniscule besides renumbering the problems sets.

  My father was a prof and said that’s basically all they do between editions. “Enlarge the margins… shrink the margins…” he said, to throw off the page numbering, I guess.

      Ha! Shrink the margins to enlarge their margins? Nope, not intended. Good spotting.

        I wonder if your father intended it? It's funny to think the joke might have gone unnoticed all those years!

  The TOC available from MIT Press shows they've added a Machine Learning chapter, which might or might not actually be useful. At least it's topical.
