Well, if you have the first printing, you can check here first:
ftp://ftp.prenhall.com/pub/esm/electrical_and_computer_engineering.s-045/oppenheim/DTSP/errata1pph.pdf
But otherwise, my comment would be... a typo in an Oppenheim & Schafer book? 9
years
after being published and after countless peer reviews? And you found it? One
thing
for sure is you're not lacking audacity and enthusiasm. Keep going.
