Hi, I think that in chapter 12, equation 12.19 should be changed from: $ f(T) = \left(\frac{1}{T_{min}}-\frac{1}{T_{max}}\right)\frac{1}{T^2} $ to: $ f(T) = \left(\frac{T_{min}T_{max}}{T_{min}-T_{max}}\right)\frac{1}{T^2} $ The factor $\left(\frac{1}{T_{min}}-\frac{1}{T_{max}}\right)$ is the normalization of $\frac{1}{T^2}$ between $T_{min}$ and $T_{max}$ and it should be dividing. The implementation in the code is obviously correct. Thanks!! Pablo Botas
