Minor editorial suggestions: p. 8, two different symbols for division, in 3.2.1 and / in 3.2.2, I suggest using only / as division 3.2.1: fma why not spell it out first time it is mentioned as opposed to in 3.2.6 3.2.5: a symbolic object may be confusing, a sequence of symbols? What is the difference between a “symbolic variable” and simply a “variable”? the statement about z_i may not be clear since x,y were listed as variables in 3.1., maybe we should explicitly add z 3.2.9: the word “bound” may be confusing, since, legally speaking, -1 is a lower bound for the interval [0,1]; correct term is endpoint; since we are accustomed to using the word “bound” in the sense of endpoint, it may be a good idea to explicitly add a definition p. 12, last example; we have a minor confusion here since earlier on this page X was used to denote Cartesian product of two intervals, now the same notation is used to describe an arithmetic product of two intervals; can we use central dot for multiplying numbers? This will be in better accordance with standard mathematical practice, where X is almost never used for multiplication of numbers after this example, it may be a good idea to make the defined term “interval extension” bold as all other defined terms in this text p. 11, 5.4.1: maybe an “interval arithmetic operation” use exp as an example, otherwise a reader who is accustomed to the fact that only +, -, X, / are called arithmetic operations may be confused; maybe a good idea to include square root as an example of arithmetic operation at the bottom of p. 12 p. 16, bottom: since we use a sign for multiplication, maybe write x \cdot y as an argument for sine?
