Abstract
The tables give essentially (i.e. apart from normalization factors) the hypergeometric functions which arise in the hodograph method for calculating steady flows of a gas whose adiabatic exponent γ is 1.4. Calling r the argument and v the order of these functions, the range covered is r = 0·08(0·02)0·30, ± v = 10·5(1·0)30·5, with 6 significant figures for the smaller | v | and 4 for the higher. Regarding r , this is the trans-sonic range, for which elementary asymptotic formulae are not available. Convenient approximate formulae also are given, whereby the tables can (if necessary) be extended to much higher values of | v |.
