The document provided errata for the first printing of a book on variational methods and applications in science and engineering. Many typos and minor errors across various pages were corrected.

The errata corrected typographical errors, incorrect equation formatting, missing symbols, incorrect references and page numbers.

Examples of corrections include changing 'Greeen's' to 'Green's', adding ' = 0' to equations, updating references, and correcting variable names in exercises.
