Handbook of Mathematical functions : With formulas, graphs, and mathematical tables / Abramowitz Milton
Titre : Handbook of Mathematical functions : With formulas, graphs, and mathematical tables Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Abramowitz Milton, Auteur ; A. Stegun Irene, Auteur Editeur : Dover Publications Année de publication : 1972 Importance : 1046p Format : 26.5x20cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-486-61272-0 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Mathematics Index. décimale : 510 Résumé : Despite the increasing use of computers, the basic need for mathematical tables continues. Tables serve a vital role in preliminary surveys of problems before programming for machine operation, and they are indispensable to thousands of engineers and scientists without access to machines. Because of automatic computers, however, and because of recent scientific advances, a greater variety of functions and a higher accuracy of tabulation than have been available until now are required. In 1954, a conference on mathematical tables, sponsored by M.I.T. and the National Science Foundation, met to discuss a modernization and extension of Jahnke and Emde's classical tables of functions. This volume, published 10 years later by the U.S. Department of Commerce, is the result. Designed to include a maximum of information and to meet the needs of scientists in all fields, it is a monumental piece of work, a comprehensive and self-contained summary of the mathematical functions that arise in physical and engineering problems. The book contains 29 sets of tables, some to as high as 20 places: mathematical constants Handbook of Mathematical functions : With formulas, graphs, and mathematical tables [texte imprimé] / Abramowitz Milton, Auteur ; A.
