NIST Releases Updated Handbook of Math Functions

Posted by kdawson on from the essential-reference dept.

An anonymous reader writes "NIST announced the publishing of the NIST Handbook of Mathematical Functions reference text (967 pp), also available in digital form at the Digital Library of Mathematical Functions. Access it with a MathML-enabled browser (Firefox or IE+plugin) to view equations as scalable text rather than bitmaps; the 3-D graphs can also be viewed with a VRML plugin for local rotating / zooming." The original Handbook of Mathematical Functions was published 46 years ago; the revision has been in the works for a decade.

    USians wouldn't say "maths". Our knowledge of math is singular.
    Who are these USians you speak of? Since people from the United States of America are called americans.

    Most people who bother to even skim over the first two pages of this will bookmark it and act like they know something about math.

    Pity.

    Since only shitholes like you use that term, I don't have to get used to it. I may deal with shitholes, but at least they are American shitholes.
