RE: The Mathematical-Function Computation Handbook
ALL
As an instructor in Technical Mathematics, my educational institution has instructor / educator courtesy access, so I also have access to the electronic version of the book. A quote from page viii in the preface may be of some interest to this forum: "because a substantial portion of the human population seems to have a fear of mathematics, or at least finds it uncomfortable and unfamiliar, this book takes care to minimize the reader’s exposure to mathematics. There are many research papers on the elementary and special functions that provide the mathematical detail that is a necessary foundation for computer implementations, but in most cases, we do not need to deal with it directly. As long as you have some familiarity with programming in at least one common language, and you can recall some of your high-school algebra, and are willing to accept the results of a few short excursions into calculus, you should be able to understand this book, and learn much from it". BEST! SlideRule emphasis in BOLD mine |
