I have seen some changes but don't recall which pages. I use this book for a college course, 2nd edition. At one point one of the students had purchased the first edition by mistake. I can't really say if the changes were significant or not. It did throw off that student when I was referencing certain pages during a lecture one week of class.
Here is a link for an eBook & PDF version;

Chris Murphy would have more information if he is still on the list.
There are some errata items throughout that were incorporated into 2nd edition. And about 1/3 is new material between them. But that distribution is largely the 3rd part, with some the 2nd part, and very little in the 1st part. Part 3 comprises the application chapters, which are obsolete anyway. So without reading both of them cover to cover again, I'd say the meaningful difference between 1st and 2nd edition is probably minimal. Chris Murphy
