About the Book

The Handbook of Mathematical Functions with Formulas, Graphs, and Mathematical Tables by Milton Abramowitz is a monumental work that serves as a vital resource for scientists, engineers, and mathematicians. This 9th revised edition, originally published by the U.S. Department of Commerce in 1965, remains one of the most comprehensive and indispensable references for mathematical functions in physical and engineering problems.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive Coverage: Includes 29 sets of tables covering mathematical constants, physical constants, exponential integrals, error functions, Bessel functions, elliptic integrals, orthogonal polynomials, probability functions, and much more.

• Numerical Methods: Features detailed explanations of the numerical methods used to compute the functions, along with examples to help readers understand the computation of values beyond the tables' range.

• Reference and Formulae: Each section includes prefaces with related formulas, graphs, and differential equations, offering more than just tabulated values.

• Illustrations: Contains over 100 figures to visually support the explanations and numerical examples.

Relevance:

This book continues to be an invaluable tool for anyone involved in scientific and engineering research, offering essential mathematical tables that aid in problem-solving, experimentation, and fieldwork. Despite the increasing use of computers, the need for this comprehensive reference remains as strong as ever for its accuracy and wide-ranging coverage of mathematical functions.
