1: Foreword
In 1964 the National Institute of Standards and Technology11 1 Then known as the National Bureau of Standards. published the Handbook of Mathematical Functions with Formulas, Graphs, and Mathematical Tables, edited by Milton Abramowitz and Irene A. … Certainly, advances in applied mathematics have continued unabated. …The new printed volume, the NIST Handbook of Mathematical Functions, serves a similar function as the original A&S, though it is heavily updated and extended. …The DLMF may well serve as a model for the effective presentation of highly mathematical reference material on the Web. … November 20, 2009 …
2: Errata
  • Linking

    Pochhammer and q -Pochhammer symbols in several equations now correctly link to their definitions.

  • Usability

    Linkage of mathematical symbols to their definitions were corrected or improved.

  • Usability

    In many cases, the links from mathematical symbols to their definitions were corrected or improved. These links were also enhanced with ‘tooltip’ feedback, where supported by the user’s browser.

  • Chapters 8, 20, 36

    Several new equations have been added. See (8.17.24), (20.7.34), §20.11(v), (26.12.27), (36.2.28), and (36.2.29).

  • The Handbook of Mathematical Functions was published, and the Digital Library of Mathematical Functions was released.

    §14.30(i) Definitions
    Sometimes Y l , m ( θ , ϕ ) is denoted by i l 𝔇 l m ( θ , ϕ ) ; also the definition of Y l , m ( θ , ϕ ) can differ from (14.30.1), for example, by inclusion of a factor ( 1 ) m . … Most mathematical properties of Y l , m ( θ , ϕ ) can be derived directly from (14.30.1) and the properties of the Ferrers function of the first kind given earlier in this chapter. …
