The publisher appears to have shipped copies of the textbook that are missing the DVD. This seems to have happened when they recently moved to their new on-demand publishing setup for all of their textbooks.

The publisher has a website where you can download the textbook’s DVD materials at

http://extras.springer.com/2008/978-0-387-72670-0

I recently received permission from the publisher to also place the DVD files on a website here as an alternative. (Some users have had problems with my site here, but others report it works fine. So try the publisher site above first).

Here is the link and the password info required is below:
