It should prove especially valuable in this period of scientific development, particularly since the impact of war- ‘ime research, when the science of physics has expanded into many spe- alized fields. ‘The many new discoveries and advances have been taken into consideration by the board of editors s0 as to select and compile the ‘most generally useful data. ‘This volume represents the first handbook specifically on physics to be Published in America, It is also the first such volume to be sponsored by the American Institute of Physics, the organization which acts as the ce tral service agency of the five member societies in physics. Prior to thi time, the profession of physies has had to depend on handbooks prepared primarily for other disciplines. ‘The book has been over four years in the making under the guidance of Dwight E. Gray, coordinating editor. Its publication would not have ‘been possible without his patient direction and the active cooperation of many of the leading physicists in the nation as well as the help and assistance of hundreds of other scientists. ‘The American Institute of Physics owes much to their unselfish spirit. ‘This handbook will be of primary usefulness to the young scientific investigator and will also have value as a reference work to the senior physicist. It should be of assistance to the individual engaged in applied physics and engineering. ‘The volume has been divided into the logical areas of physics. We are pleased to add this handbook to the many publications spon- sored by the Institute and to invite the suggestions and criticism of phys- icists so that future editions may be more complete and useful. ‘THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF PHYSICSContents Contributors... ee ec Preface 0 OE Section MATHEMATICAL AIDS TO COMPUTATION Editor, Dr. Albert A.

DERBY Pratt and Whitney Aircraft Corporation ‘To the physicist who is equipped by training and temperament to use them, many ‘mathematical aids of a variety of kinds are available for dealing with mathematical relationships among physical quantities. Such side include mechanical computing devices, numerical tables of functional values, collections of formulas, syllabi of com putational techniques and artifioes, and the like. None of these is the outcome of physical theory or of laboratory experimentation but frequently physicists find them ‘very useful ‘Among mechanical computing devices are slide rules and desk computers. In widespread use, beside the pocket-size “7-inch” slide rule and the portable “10-inch” rule, are the larger “20-inch” (or more properly ‘‘50-cm”) slide rules and plane circular slide rules of various diameters. Rules of comparable quality and value are ‘manufactured by several well-known companies. Various larger devices, suggested by the conventional Mannheim style slide rule, have eylindrica, and even squirrel- cage scales, but these are seldom favored by practical experts. | Among desk eom- puters, the most widely used in Ameriea (in alphabetic order) are the Friden, the Marchant, and the Monroe; each ranges from simple hand-powered devices to electric- riven machines with numerous semiautomatic features. Such computing devices have practically displaced common logarithms for simple multiplication and division, High-speed eleotronie digital computers, where they are available, also are rendering. superfiuous many mathematical artfices and tables of special functions, ‘Numerical tables of the simpler mathematical functions are widely owned. ‘These vvary a8 to tabular interval and numbers of significant digits. Mathematical hand- books often contain much material which, while of service to the number theorist or actuary, may seldom be relevant to work in the physical Inboratory. Statistical tables and techniques of sampling are gradually finding increasing use inthe calculus of observations for the physical laboratory technologist no les than for the sociologist fand practical geneticist. A single mathematical handbook may be adequate for most routine laboratory situations and may occupy all the immediate desk space that the physicit is willing to devote to auch aids. Often such a handbook has been acquired 1412 MATHEMATICAL AIDS TO COMPUTATION in connection with an undergraduate course in mathematics. To save computing labor many computers prefer (particularly for inverse interpolation) to use tables which give values to more significant figures than are to be retained, Most American standard mathematical handbooks of tables contain at least the following: Squares, cubes, square roots, cube roots, reciprocals Common logarithms Natural trigonometric functions in degrees and minutes Common logarithms of the trigonometric functions Natural logarithms ‘Exponential and hyperbolic functions ‘Values of the probability integral Among the compilations of tables most widely used in this country are the following, ‘most of which are revised and republished from time to time: Allen, Edward 8.: “Sixplace Tables," 7th ed., MeGraw-Hill Book Company, Ine., New York, 1947, 232 pages Squares, cubes, square roots, eube roots, reciprocals, common logarithms; natural trigonometric unctions; logarithms of the trigonometric functions; natural logarithms; exponential and hyperbolic functions, probability integral; gamma function; integrals; miscellaneous constants; formulas and conversion tables.
