 | | It provides information on most of the functions then widely used in numerical computation in engineering and the physical sciences, including many formulas, and numerical tables of values for most of the functions. |
 | | First, because algorithms for computing numerical values of mathematically functions have improved dramatically over the 37 years since this work was published, you will not find suitable algorithms for computing values of the various functions discussed. |
 | | Second, and for much the same reason, you should not assume that all the numerical values given in all the tables are completely accurate; in 1964 calculations of some of these values with then-known algorithms pushed the state of the art to the limit. |
