Abstract
All areas of physics have their “bibles” – books that researchers turn to again and again. These bibles include Born and Wolf for optics, Jackson for electrodynamics, and Landau and Lifshitz for a variety of areas. But there is one book in particular that many theoretical physicists would find it difficult to live without – a weighty 1060-page opus they refer to as Abramowitz and Stegun. And now this volume – and its abundance of formulae, tables and graphs –is being completely rewritten for the Web. Moreover, the Digital Library of Mathematical Functions (DLMF), as the new version will be called, will be free to all users courtesy of the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) from 2003.
