The purpose of the meeting was to evaluate the need for mathematical tables in the light of the availability of large scale com- puting machines. Tt was the consensus of opinion that in spite of the increasing use of the new machines the basie need for tables would continue to exist. Numerical tables of mathematical functions are in continual demand by scientists and engineers. A greater variety of functions and higher accuracy of tabulation are now required as a result of scientific advances and, especially, of the increasing use of automatic computers. In the latter connection, the tables serve mainly for preliminary surveys of problems before programming for machine operation. For those without easy access to machines, such tables are, of course, indispensable, Consequently, the Conference recognized that there was a pressing need for a modernized version of the classical tables of functions of Jahnke-Emde. To implement the project, the National Science Foundation requested the National Bureau of Standards to prepare such a volume and established an Ad Hoc Advisory Committee, with Professor Philip M. ‘Morse of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as chairman, to advise the staff of the National Bureau of Standards during the course of its preparation. In addition to the Chairman, the Committee consisted of A. Erdelyi, M, C. Gray, N. Metropolis, J. B. Rosser, H.C. Thacher, Jr., John ‘Todd, C. B. Tompkins, and J. W. Tukey. The primary aim has been to include a maximum of useful informa tion within the limits of a moderately large volume, with particular atten- tion to the needs of scientists in all fields. An attempt has been made to cover the entire field of special functions. To carry out the goal set forth by the Ad Hoc Committee, it has been necessary to supplement the tables by including the mathematical properties that are important in compu- tation work, as well as by providing numerical methods which demonstrate the use and extension of the tables. ‘The Handbook was prepared under the direction of the late Milton Abramowitz, and Irene A. Stegun. Its success has depended greatly upon the cooperation of many mathematicians. Their efforts together with the cooperation of the Ad Hoe Committee are greatly appreciated. The par- ticular contributions of these and other individuals are acknowledged at appropriate places in the text. The sponsorship of the National Science Foundation for the preparation of the material is gratefully recognized. It is hoped that this volume will not only meet the needs of all table users but will in many cases acquaint its users with new functions. ALLEN V. ASTIN, Director June 1964 Washington, D.C. mt Preface to the Ninth Printing ‘The enthusiastic reception accorded the “Handbook of Mathematical Functions” is little short of unprecedented in the long history of mathe- matical tables that began when John Napier published his tables of loga- rithms in 1614. Only four and one-half years after the first copy came from the press in 1964, Myron Tribus, the Assistant Secretary of Com- merce for Science and Technology, presented the 100,000th copy of the Handbook to Lee A. DuBridge, then Science Advisor to the President. Today, total distribution is approaching the 150,000 mark at a scarcely diminished rate. ‘The success of the Handbook has not ended our interest in the subject. On the contrary, we continue our close watch over the growing and chang- ing world of computation and to discuss with outside experts and among ourselves the various proposals for possible extension or supplementation of the formulas, methods and tables that make up the Handbook. In keeping with previous policy, a number of errors discovered since the last printing have been corrected. Aside from this, the mathematical tables and accompanying text are unaltered. However, some noteworthy changes have been made in Chapter 2: Physical Constants and Conversion Factors, pp. 6-8. The table on page 7 has been revised to give the values of physical constants obtained in a recent reevaluation; and pages 6 and 8 have been modified to reflect changes in definition and nomenclature of physical units and in the values adopted for the acceleration due to gravity in the revised Potsdam system. ‘The record of continuing acceptance of the Handbook, the praise that has come from all quarters, and the fact that it is one of the most-quoted scientific publications in recent years are evidence that the hope expressed by Dr. Astin in his Preface is being amply fulfilled. Lewis M, BRaNscomB, Director National Bureau of Standards November 1970 Foreword ‘This volume is the result of the cooperative effort of many persons and « number of organizations. ‘The Notional Bureau of Standards has long been turning out mathematical tables and hes hed under consideration, for at least 10 years, the production of a compendium like the present one. During a Conference on Tables, called by the NBS Applied Mathematics Division on May 16, 1952, Dr. Abramo- witz of that Division mentioned preliminary plans for such an undertaking, but indicated the need for technical advice and financial support. ‘The Mathematics Division of the National Research Council hes also hed an active interest in tables; since 1943 it hes published the quarterly journal, “Mathe- matical Tables and Aids to Computation” (MTAC), editorial supervision being exercised by a Committee of the Division. Subsequent to the NBS Conference on Tebles in 1952 the attention of the National Science Foundation was drawn to the desirability of financing activity in table production. With its support. a 2-dey Conference on Tables was called at the ‘Massachusetts Institute of Technology on September 15-16, 1954, to discuss the needs for tables of various kinds. Twenty-eight persons attended, representing scientists and engineers using tables as well as table producers. This conference Teached consensus on several conclusions and recommendations, which were set forth in the published Report of the Conference. There was general agreement, for example, ‘that the advent of high-speed computing equipment chenged the task of table making but definitely did not remove the need for tables”. Tt was also agreed that ‘an outstanding need is for a Handbook of Tables for the Occasional Computer, with tables of usually encountered functions and a set of formulas and tables for interpolation and other techniques useful to the occasional computer” ‘The Report suggested that the NBS undertake the production of such Handbook and that the NSF contribute financial assistance. ‘The Conference elected, from its participants, the following Committee: P. M. Morse (Chairman), M. Abramowitz, J. H. Curtiss, R. W. Hamming, D. H. Lehmer, C. B. Tompkins, J. W. Tukey, to help implement these and other recommendations ‘Tho Bureau of Standards undertook to produce the recommended tables and the National Science Foundation made funds available. To provide technical guidance to the Mathematics Division of the Bureau, which carried out the work, and to pro- vide the NSF with independent judgments on grants for the work, the Conference Committee was reconstituted as the Committeo on Revision of Mathematical Tables’of.the Mathematics Division of the National Research Council. This, after some changes of membership, became the Committee which is signing this Foreword, ‘The present volume is evidene» that Conferences can sometimes reach conclusions and that their recommendations sometimes get acted on. FOREWORD Active work was started at the Bureau in 1956. ‘The overall plan, the selection of authors for the various chapters, and the enthusiasm required to begin the task were contributions of Dr. Abramowitz. Since his untimely death, the effort has continued under the general direction of Irene A. Stegun, The workers at the Bureau and the members of the Committee have had many discussions about content, style and layout. Though many details have had to be argued out as they came up, the basic specifications of the volume have remained the same as were outlined by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Conference of 1954. ‘The Committee wishes here to register its commendation of the magnitude and quality of the task carried out by the staff of the NBS Computing Section and their expert collaborators in planning, collecting and editing these Tables, and its appre- ciation of the willingness with which its various suggestions were incorporated into the plans. We hope this resulting volume will be judged by its users to be a worthy memorial to the vision and industry of ite chief architect, Milton Abramowitz. ‘We regret he did not live to see its publication.

Introduction ‘The present, Handbook has been designed to ‘de scientific investigators with a compre- Rensive and self-contained summary of the mathe: matical functions that arise in physical and engi- neering problems, ‘The well-known. Tables “of Functions by E. Jahnke and F. Emde has been invaluable to workers in these fields in its many taitions! during the past ‘half-century. “The resent. volume extends the work of these authors yy giving: more extensive and more accurate numerical tables, and by giving larger collections of mathematical properties of the tabulated functions. ‘The number of funetions covered has also been increased. ‘The classification of functions and organization of the chapters in this Handbook is similar to that of An Index of Mathematical Tables by A. Fletcher, J. . P. Miller, and L, Rosenhead.* In general, the chapters contain numerical tables, graphs, polynomial or rational spproximations for automatic computers, and statements of the principal mathematical properties of the tabu- lated functions, particularly those of compute- 2. Accuracy ‘The number of significant figures given in each table has depended to some extent on the number available in existing tabulations. “There bas been no attempt to make it uniform throughout the Handbook, which would have been a costly and Isborious undertaking. In most tables at least five significant figures have beon, provided, and the tabulas intervals have generally. been chosen to ensure that linear interpolation will yield.four- or fivesigure accuracy, which suffices in most Physical “applications.

Many numerical examples are given to illustrate the use of the tables and also the computation of function values whieh lie Outside their range, -At the end of the tot. in each chapter there is a short bibliography giving books and papers in which proofs of the mathe- matical properties stated in the chapter may be found. Also listed in the bibliographies are the more important, numerical tables. Comprehen- sive lists of tables are given in the Index men- tioned above, and current information on new tables is to be found in the National Research Council quarterly Mathematies of Computation (formerly Mathematical Tables and Other Aids to Computation). ‘The mathematical notations used in this Hand- book are those commonly adopted in standard texts, particularly Higher Transcendental Func- tions, Volumes 1-3, by A. Erdélyi, W. Magnus, F. Oberhettinger and F. G. Tricomi (MeGra\ Hill, 1953-55). Some alternative notations have also been listed. ‘The introduction of new symbols has been kept to a minimum, and an effort. has been made to avoid the use of conflicting notation. of the Tables precision in their interpolates may obtain them by use of higher-order interpolation procedures, described below. Tn certain tables many-figured funetion values are given at irregular intervals in the ent. An example is provided by Table 9.4. yur pote of these tebles is to furnish “key values’ for the checking of programs for automatic computers; no, question of interpolation arises. ‘The maximum end-figure error, or “tolerance” in the tables in this Handbook ‘is %o of 1 unit everywhere in the caso of the elementary. func- tions, and 1 unit in the caso of the higher fuinetions except in a few cases where it has been permitted to rise to 2 units. x INTRODUCTION 3. Auxiliary Funetions and Arguments One of the objects of this Handbook is to pro- vide tables or computing methods which enable the user to evaluate the tabulated. functions over complete ranges of real values of their parameters. In order to achieve this object, frequent use has been made of suxiliery functions to remove the infinite part of the original functions at their singularities, and auxiliary arguments to cope with infinite ranges. An example will make the pro- cedure clear. _ The exponential integral of positive argument is given by B= [tee artnet tytgntdat avemetintgatgat - 1,21, 3! agp Hts | Jere ‘Tho logarithmic singularity precludes direct inter- polation near 2=0. The functions Ei(z)—In x and Ei(@)—In 2—y], however, are well- behaved and readily interpolable in’ this region, Either will do as an auxiliary function; the latter vrs in Tact salectod ast yields slightly higher accuracy when Ei(z) is recovered. ‘The function ="[Hi(@)—In 2—»] has been tabulated to nine decimals for the range 0<2<3. For $<2<2, Ei(z) is sufficiently well-behaved to admit direct tabulation, but for larger values of z, its expo- nential character predominates. A smoother and ‘more readily interpolable function for large 2 is ze~*Ei(z); this has been tabulated for 22) Fa(n,) (Coulomb wave function) Illustrations of the generation of functions from ‘their recurrence relations aro given in the pertinent, chapters. It is also shown that even in cases where the recurrence process is unstable, it may still be used when the starting values are known to sufficient accuracy. ‘Mention must also be made here of a refinement, due to J. C. P. Miller, which enables a recurrence process which is stable for decreasing n to be applied without any knowledge of starting values for large n. Miller’s algorithm, which is well- suited to automatic work, is described in 19.28, ‘Example 1. 8. Acknowledgments The production of this volume has been the result of the unrelenting efforts of many persons, all of whose contributions have been instrumental in accomplishing the task. ‘The Editor expresses his thanks to each and every one. "The Ad Hoe Advisory Committee individually and together were instrumental in establishing the basic tenets that served as e guide in the form: tion of the entire work. In particular, special thanks are due to Professor Philip M. Morse for his continuous encouragement and support, Professors J. Todd and A. Erdélyi, panel members of the Conferences on Tables and members of the ‘Advisory Committeo_have maintained an un- diminished interest, offered many suggestions and carefully read all the chapters. Trene A. Stegun has served effectively as associate editor, sharing in each stage of the planning of the volume, Without her untiring efforts, com- pletion would never have been possible. ‘Appreciation is expressed for the generous ‘cooperation of publishers and authors in granti permission for the use of their source material, Acknowledgments for tabular material taken wholly or in part from published works are given fon the first page of exch table. Myrtle R. Kelling- ton corresponded with authors end publishers to obtsin formal permission for including their material, maintained uniformity throughout the Dibliographie references and assisted in preparing the introductory material, Valuable assistance in the preparation, checkin and editing of the tabular material was receiv: from Ruth E. Capuano, Elizabeth F. Godefroy, David 8. Liepman, Kermit Nelson, Bertha H. ‘Walter and Ruth Zucker. Equally important hes been the untiring cooperation, assistance, and patience of the members of the NBS staff in handling the myriad of detail necessarily attending the’ publication of a volume of this magnitude. Especially appreciated have been the helpful discussions and services from the members of the Office of Techni- cal Information in the arees of editorial format, graphic art layout, printing detail, preprinting Teproduction needs, as well as attention to pro- motional detail and financial support, In addition, the clerical and typing staff of the Applied Mathe- matics Division merit commendation for their efficient and patient production of manuscript involving complicsted technical notation, ‘nally, the continued support of Dr. E. W. Cannon, chief of the Applied Mathematics Division, and the advice of Dr. FL, Alt, assistant chief, as’ well as of the many mathematicians in the Division, is gratefully acknowledged. ‘M.

All other units of SI are derived from these meter as the unit for length and 1/1000 of the Kilogram as the unit for mass gives rise simi- larly to the cgs system, often used in physics and chemistry. SI, as it is ordinarily used in electromagne- tism, is a rationalized system, i.e., the electro- magnetic units of SI relate to the quantities appearing in the so-called rationalized electro- magnetic equations. Thus, the force per unit length between two current-carrying parallel wires of infinite length separated by unit dis- tance in vacuo is 2f = misi,/4r, where po has the value 47x 10“H/m. The force between two electric charges in vacuo is corresponding- ly given by f= q10-/4rat*, « having the value L/ue?, where ¢ is the speed of light in meters per second. («~8.854 x 10™F/m) Setting p. equal to unity and deleting 4 from the denominator in the first equation above defines the cgs-omu system. Setting equal to unity and deleting 47 from the de- nominator in the second equation correspond- ingly defines the egs-esu system. The cgs-emu and the egs-esu systems are most frequently used in the unrationalized forms. Table 2.1.
