You are the GM
You say what goes

He is a player
He is responsible for rolling and upkeeping his character including rolls, ranks, feats and math.

If a game is played and events takes place based on actions by the players, then it happens.

Make a general ruling.
If there is a mistake by a player, it needs to be corrected and brought up within the same game session.
Give too much time and players will have too much time to think up a good excuse or reason.
You are the GM, it is your game.

At any time, the player could have re-checked his dex and bonuses during the event. I re-check to make sure if I am going to be suffering massive damage.
Seems this player did not do so and accepted it.

Unfairness is showing favoritism
Unfairness is giving no chance for any player to make his appeal.

This player is just mad that she did not spot the error in time
Now he is whining about his screw up by blaming other instead of his calculator.

Once you give chances to people like him, he will continue to do it again seeing that you can be pushed that far to give.
Others may follow his example.

So do a general ruling of appeals in same game session, stats and actions are on the player's responsibility not yours.

Recently I started a homebrew game with my closest friends and out of the blue the my friend, lets call him "D" decided to play an evil monk. He did this with full knowledge of the party configuration.

Which goes like this:
LG Half-Elf Ranger
LG Human Noble
CG Human Bard
CG Human Alchemist
LE Human Monk

I've tried to convince him to alter alignments slightly or make a more cohesive character but he politely refuses and says he knows what he is doing. He hides his alignment with magic (they are 4th level) but I think his luck will soon run out and get kabobed on the Rangers Arrow. What should I do, just let things play out?
Sorry for the rant.

This monk player needs to think before he acts.

Evil characters can still act like a "good" character.
That is the beauty of evil.
You can stray from one end to the other.
Unlike good, which cannot do this.

His method may not be widely accepted or liked by his teammates.
However so long as does not hinder the group in any way, should be OK.

Eventually he may need to leave the group at some point in time because of his convictions.
