If you find typographical errors or other issues related to the text or supporting files, then please use the book’s repository’s issue tracking system to create a new issue. You should first check if the same or similar issue has already been submitted. The issue tracking system is for filing issues about the correctness of the text or files. It is not about general questions about simulation concepts, solutions to homework, how to do something in the KSL, etc. Such issues will not be considered and will be deleted as needed.
