From Nielsen and Chuang's book: $\textit{Quantum computation and quantum information}$, how can (5.34) equal (5.33)? I.e.
$$\dfrac{1}{2} \int_{e-1}^{2^{t-1}-1} dl \dfrac{1}{l^2} = \dfrac{1}{2(e-1)}.$$

3$\begingroup$ Probably a typo, it should read leq again (note that t>1). $\endgroup$– M. SternNov 29, 2020 at 14:36

2$\begingroup$ As @M.Stern commented, this is probably a typo as $$ \dfrac{1}{2} \int_{e-1}^\infty \dfrac{1}{l^2} dl = \dfrac{1}{2(e-1)} $$ $\endgroup$– KAJ226Nov 29, 2020 at 18:57

1$\begingroup$ please use mathjax to write down the equation in the post $\endgroup$– glS ♦Nov 30, 2020 at 10:46

2$\begingroup$ @M.Stern: I see. Just to inform you, it is also wrong in my 10th aniversary edition (2016). $\endgroup$– Martin VeselyNov 30, 2020 at 18:45
