[LONG] If you like or *need* Mathematics ...



#11

... then you'll probably find this a very interesting resource.

Hello, all:

    The resource in question is this:
          "Handbook of Mathematical Functions with Formulas, Graphs,
    and Mathematical Tables
    (Milton Abramowitz and Irene A. Stegun, Editors)"
    and it's a monumental, 1059-page book choke-full of everything there is to know about most mathematical functions (including all important ones for the applications), such as definition, formulae, tables, graphs, algorithms for their numerical computation, the works !
    Also included are number theory functions, statistical and probability functions, conversion functions, etc.

    I've used it very extensively in the past and still do today when I need some information on a particular function, such as formulae and/or suitable numerical methods to implement it, so it might be the case that you find it useful too, if you didn't know about it in advance, most specially if you want to program your HP33S, say, to compute some advanced functions related to your engineering or statistical field (say you need elliptic functions for some electrical engineering problem) and you'd like to get comprehensive coverage from a single source. Even the tables will be extremely useful to check your results against them. You might also find useful the physical constants and conversion factors.

    The full table of contents and index I've prepared follows, for you to have a
    look at what's available and whether you're interested in getting it. Should that be the case, you can download it from here, as a 67 Mb PDF document.

    Best regards from V.

Thanks, Valentin!
I downloaded 'the Bible' right away!

I was lucky enough to stumble across a copy in a used book store some years ago. Don't remember much of the reasons it was useful, but along with Numerical Recipes, I'm comforted knowing it is on my shelf if needed.

#14

I bought a copy of that book from the Government Printing Office at roughly the same time as Hewlett-Packard introduced the HP-35. It's still listed in the GPO catalog.

http://bookstore.gpo.gov/actions/GetPublication?stocknumber=003-003-00279-8

Unfortunately, it's listed as "out of print", so it may be a while before they print another batch.

The book is big, about the size of a large phone book or dictionary.


#15

A (large) paperback reprint of this book is still available from Dover Publications. Their identifier is 0-486-61272-4, and their list price is $34.95. However, Amazon is currently offering it new for $22.02, and used starting at $8.00.

I have both the GPO and the Dover versions, since I wanted one at work and one at home, and it is definitely too big to pack conveniently back and forth in a brief case. The book can be extremely useful, and of course the download would be both portable and economic even compared to a used hard copy. However the prospect of working with a (unbookmarked?) 67 MB PDF file might still turn some toward one of the available hard copies.

#16

Thanks for maning the PDf available and free of charge. I found another PDF on the net last year, just one day after I had paid for another PDF version of the same book!!

So free is nice!

Thanks Valentin, I have fond memories of this book from my studies in Austria! Your pdf is very generous, I'm delighted to have a searchable abramowitz now (my hardcopy was lost at home a long time ago). Now I might have a slightly better chance to participate in the SSMC (sorry that i missed the last two, I was too much under water at work to play)

Another "handbook" (not sure why they call those monster books hand-book, one needs at least two arms to log them around) is the Brohnstein & Semendyayev . Unfortunately I think the german edition is a bit better translation, but it also served me very well during the night-owl hours of quantum physics...

Cheers

Peter

Hi Valentin!

I also keep a nicely preserved copy of the Dover paperback edition in my bookshelf. I have it open in my lap as I write this.

The book brings very fond memories of the HP calc programming days, back in the late 70's. It was an invaluable source of ideas and information to create programs, in many cases simply for the fun of programming.

Thanks for the PDF version!


#19

Hi, Fer !

Nice to see you posting here, so unusual ... !

I'm glad you like the PDF version, I also own a printed copy, a very useful reference indeed though calling it a "handbook" is quite an stretch of imagination.

By the way, I'm still waiting for your attempt at my latest challenge, I've seen you easily solve much harder ones. Also, I'm sure you'll like my article featured in this month's issue of Datafile, due in a few days.

Back to my Easter vacations !

Best regards from V.

Thanks, Valentin!

I used to have a printed copy of this "handbook" ("desktopbook"?),
but it seems that it must've grown feet and walked away a few
years ago. I guess that I should've looked at it more, for more
reasons than one. Even though I didn't often use it, there have
been occasions when I really did need some information available
in it.

That PDF file looks a bit impractical to download over my dial-up
connection.

I found an online version as well as an HTML/JPEG (tar.gz package)
copy at 43 MiB, and of course the PDF file, at
http://www.math.sfu.ca/~cbm/aands/.

I figure that I'll download the tar.gz file to a flash drive the
next time I get a chance to borrow my sister-in-law's PC with the
cable connection.

I suspect that those who participate in the Short and Sweet Math
Challenges may find the handbook to be very helpful.

Regards,
James
