Line 357:
2) The wording "partially apply <code>f1</code> to <code>fs</code>" should be changed to "partially apply <code>fs</code> to <code>f1</code>" because it's more conventional to speak of functions being applied to arguments than vice versa, and in this case <code>f1</code> is the argument.
 
3) Please be consistent about distinguishing between functions themselves and expressions in which they are applied to an argument. The wording "create a function <code>fs(f,s)</code> that takes a function <code>f(n)</code> ..." should be changed to "create a function <code>fs</code> that takes a function <code>f</code> ...". The expression <math>f(n)</math> refers conventionally not to the whole function <math>f</math> but to the single output associated with the argument <math>n</math> (unless you're an economist, in which case you'll infer an implied universal quantification with respect to the variable <math>n</math>, except when you don't).
