Overview

An invaluable reference and learning guide to more than 150 special functions of applied mathematics, statistics, physics, chemistry, computer science, and engineering. This book contains over 700 graphics of the functions, which readers can also create by using the annotated Mathematica files provided. It offers complete, consistent instructions and test values for computing the functions accurately and efficiently with the full Fortran-90 source programs on the CD-ROM, which is both Windows and Macintosh compatible.

Provides four dimensions of information: over 700 pictures of graphs to guide thinking about functions; programs for doing mathematics by computer; key formulas for accurate and efficient solutions; and over 150 numerical functions from mathematics that are used by practitioners in such areas as applied mathematics, statistics, physics, chemistry, computer science, and engineering. The CD-Rom contains "Mathematica" notebooks for the visualizations in the text, generating some of the functions algebraically, and calculating numerical test values; and source programs for the functions in Fortran.
