►One source of confusion, rather than actual errors, are some new functions which differ from those in
Abramowitz and Stegun (1964) by scaling, shifts or constraints on the domain; see the Info box (click or hover over the

How to Cite
►When citing DLMF from a formal publication, we suggest a format similar
to the following:
…
►The direct correspondence between the reference numbers in the printed Handbook and the
permalinks used
online in the DLMF enables readers of either version
to cite specific items and
their readers
to easily look them up again — in either version!
►The following table outlines the correspondence between reference numbers as they appear in the Handbook, and the URL’s that find the same item
online.
Note the ‘E’, ‘F’ and ‘T’ used
to disambiguate equations, figures and tables.

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.

►That 1046-page tome proved
to be an invaluable reference for the many scientists and engineers who use the special functions of applied mathematics in their day-
to-day work, so much so that it became the most
widely distributed and most highly cited NIST publication in the first 100 years of the institution’s existence.
The success of the original handbook,
widely referred
to as “Abramowitz and Stegun” (“A&S”), derived not only from the fact that it provided critically useful scientific data in a highly accessible format, but also because it served
to standardize definitions and notations for special functions.
…
►The document you are now holding, or the Web page you are now reading, represents an effort
to extend the legacy of A&S well into the 21st century.
…The
online version, the
NIST Digital
Library of Mathematical Functions (DLMF), presents the same technical information along with extensions and innovative interactive features consistent with the new medium.
…
►Particular attention is called
to the generous support of the National Science Foundation, which made possible the participation of experts from academia and research institutes worldwide.

►In April 2011, NIST co-organized a conference on “Special Functions in the 21st Century: Theory & Application” which was dedicated
to Olver.
…
►Olver continued
to maintain a connection
to NIST after moving
to the university.
Most notably, he served as the Editor-in-Chief and Mathematics Editor of the
online NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions and its 966-page print companion, the
NIST Handbook of Mathematical Functions (Cambridge University Press, 2010).
Fitting capstones
to Olver’s long career, these works are on track
to extend the legacy of the classic Abramowitz and Stegun handbook well into the 21st century.
According
to DLMF Project Lead Daniel Lozier, “Olver’s encyclopedic knowledge of the field, his clear vision for mathematical exposition, his keen sense of the needs of practitioners, and his unfailing attention
to detail were key
to the success of that project.
