last paragraph

In last sentence in the below paragraph, it is incorrectly mentioned as mainframe. It should be 'supercomputer' instead of 'mainframe'.

Supercomputer is a fairly broad term used to describe only the fastest computers. A supercomputer
may act as a mainframe and support many simultaneous users, but its focus is on running one
program or a few huge programs extremely quickly, rather than on performing many smaller tasks for
many users. Typical mainframe applications include massive simulations for weather prediction, fluid
dynamics calculations, and nuclear energy research.

Note from the Author or Editor:
You're right, that should say "supercomputer" not "mainframe." Thanks for pointing this out.

Thank you for all of your efforts to create and publish this book.

Note from the Author or Editor:
That paragraph should segue into the next one, which as mentioned deals with operators.
