Thompson, William J.
Atlas for computing mathematical functions: an illustrated guide for practitioners, with program in Fortran 90 and Mathematica. Incl. 1 CD-ROM. (English)
[B] Chichester: John Wiley \& Sons. xiv, 888 p. \$ 115.00 (1997). ISBN 0-471-18171-4

This book and the accompanying CD-ROM address the problem of computing and visualizing the standard special functions. Although the most important formulas are presented, this book complements rather than replaces standard works like ``The Handbook of Mathematical Functions'' edited by Abramowitz and Stegun and nearly one third of the material in this book is pictorial. Programs for computing the functions are available on the CD-ROM both in Fortran 90 and Mathematica. The same book but with the programs in C instead of Fortran 90 has been reviewed in [1997, Zbl 0873.68100].
