NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions

Introduction

Abramowitz and Stegun's Handbook of Mathematical Functions (with Formulas, Graphs, and Mathematical Tables) was first published by the National Bureau of Standards in 1964. It remains a technical best-seller and is among the most widely cited of all math reference compendia.

But the Handbook is increasingly out-of-date. A project is underway at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (the heir to NBS) to develop a replacement which will become a major resource of math reference data for special functions and their applications.

About the Project

Digital Library of Mathematical Functions Mockup

Finally, we present the Mockup of NIST's Digital Library of Mathematical Functions. This mockup exhibits current ideas about the design and organization of the new Digital Library; these ideas are, of course, subject to change. Content is only available in a few places -- it is only a mockup. Give it a look, and give us your responses: .

Starting points:

In addition to the DLMF website there will be a printed version of the DLMF in the form of a conventional published handbook. Prospective publishers can request a sample chapter in PDF form by contacting daniel.lozier@nist.gov.
