NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions

[Eric Smith]

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.

The new version (HTML) looks awesome. My old paper A&S can finally retire -- well when I get a paper copy of the new it can.

Fantastic! Thanks for posting this, Eric!

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.

A&S Handbook

That should work for you.

Thank you for posting that too, Dimitri! :)

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...
