first paragraph, first sentence

Page 36, first paragraph, first sentence: "At first, you might
consider this kind of explanation *to* unneccessary, ...". I assume that
the author meant "too" instead of "to"; however, something is either
necessary or unnecessary, so the word "to" may be omitted all together.

fourth paragraph, fourth sentence

Page 37, fourth paragraph, fourth sentence: "Milliseconds are
thousands of seconds; therefore, ...". Milliseconds are thousand*th*s of
seconds, not thousands of seconds. There needs to be a "th" to make the
word *thousandths*.

code example, 3rd and 6th line from the bottom

In the first line of the example, it says "#define LED 13 // the pin for the LED", so we've told the Arduino that it should read 13 when we say LED. But in the 3rd and 6th line from the bottom, it says "digitalWrite(13, HIGH/LOW)", which I think should be "digitalWrite(LED, HIGH/LOW)".
