Book Description
Introducing a comprehensive book and CD-ROM for visualizing and computing special functions
Here is an invaluable reference and learning guide to more than 150 special functions of applied mathematics, statistics, physics, chemistry, computer science, and engineering. The Atlas 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 ANSI C source programs on the CD-ROM, which is both Windows and Macintosh compatible.
With extensive references and indexing, this integrated package is superbly designed and easy to use-ideal for anyone who works with special functions. Contents include:
* Elementary Transcendental Functions
* Exponential Integrals and Related Functions
* Gamma and Beta Functions
* Combinatorial Functions
* Number Theory Functions
* Probability Distributions
* Error Function, Fresnel, and Dawson Integrals
* Orthogonal Polynomials
* Legendre Functions
* Spheroidal Wave Functions
* Bessel Functions
* Struve, Anger, and Weber Functions
* Hypergeometric Functions and Coulomb Wave Functions
* Elliptic Integrals and Elliptic Functions
* Parabolic Cylinder Functions
* Miscellaneous Functions for Science and Engineering
* Mathematica Notebooks
* C Driver Programs
