In the tutorial it is said to

Lastly, replace sqrt with our library function mathfunctions::mysqrt.

However, the functionmysqrt is in namespace mathfunctions::detail not just mathfunctions. There is a wrapper mathfunctions::sqrt which I believe should be mentioned instead. It is also written that way in the solution.
