1 Abramowitz, Milton Handbook of Mathematical Functions Dover Publications 1972 0-486-61272-4 / 9780486612720 Paperback  Paperback - 1972 - good condition - ladylisabooks - used books, secondhandbooks, out of print books, hard to find books, second-hand books, nonfiction, non-fiction books delivered world wide.With Formulas, Graphs, and Mathematical Tables. Vast compendium: 29 sets oftables, some to as high as 20 places.This is by far the most comprehensive reference for functions and formulasavailable. Standing at over a thousand pages you could argue that it's exhaustive nature exceeds a student's needs, but for anyone who uses mathematics, both in research or industry, this book is truly essential.Every function you've ever heard of, and many many more, are approached from every angle. Rigorously defined, and hundreds of properties, all listed in a logical order. Useful formulas are always simple to find. Whilst the numerical methods for evaluating functions could do with an update in places,they are always clearly explained. True, the tables are larger than they need to be, but nevertheless often serve as convenient reference for tests.This is a truly remarkable compilation. Perhaps a few hundred years down the line, this book will be regarded as affectionately, and considered as significant achievement as the first dictionary!A & S's Handbook of Mathematical Functions is an absolute must have for any lover of mathematics. The explanations are top rate. With the abilities of computers to tabulate numbers rapidly, the value of the tables is questionable. But the mathematical coverage is absolutely without equal. Any function you can think of, and some that you probably can't are covered in steamy, lurid detail. The paperback is  Price: 22.00 GBP Add to Shopping Cart
