Index of Selected Software Within the DLMF Chapters
Within each of the DLMF chapters themselves we will provide a list of
research software for the functions discussed in that chapter.
The purpose of these listings is to provide references to the research
literature on the engineering of software for special functions.
To qualify for listing, the development of the software must have been the subject
of a research paper published in the peer-reviewed literature. If such software
is available online for free download we will provide a link to the software.
In general, we will not index other software within DLMF chapters unless
the software is unique in some way, such as being the only known software
for computing a particular function.

contact us if you have software that you believe should be listed.
