NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions Message #1 Posted by Eric Smith on 15 May 2010, 5:23 p.m. Perhaps this has already been discussed here, but someone just sent me a link to the NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions. Together with the print version (NIST Handbook of Mathematical Functions), this is intended to replace the classic Handbook of Mathematical Functions by Milton Abramowitz published by the NBS in 1964.

Re: NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions Message #4 Posted by hugh steers on 16 May 2010, 8:54 a.m., in response to message #1 by Eric Smith i saw this too and have pre-ordered it. the web version is usable, but the paper copy would be nice. out of interest, i started coding a couple of special functions based on the computational suggestions, however i cant find any tables listed online (presumably there are some in the book?) anyhow, i had to use the old Abramowitz version to verify results.

Re: NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions Message #7 Posted by Steve S on 16 May 2010, 12:35 p.m., in response to message #1 by Eric Smith Did you know that A&S has also been scanned and is available in electronic format for free? I downloaded a copy years ago. I don't recall the source, but I believe that you can find it with a simple Goggle search...
