For version R2009b the documentation for "conv" states that

conv(u,v) = w(k) = sum{j} u(j) v(k-j)

which is incorrect, since the v function should be v(k-j+1). This
typo was fixed in version R2010a.

Since I must use R2009b for various reasons, I'm wondering if Matlab
fixes documentation errors like this before a new release, and if one
can download the corrected documentation and have it available while
running Matlab (particularly older versions). As I'm sure you all can
sympathize, just a little typo in the documentation can make for a
vexing and frustrating experience...

Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim, Currently errors (bugs) in the documentation are fixed for the current (upcoming) release. The documentation is not "retro" corrected.

I realize it's not what you're asking, but you can always access the latest version of the documentation via the web.
