Format:Paperback
This is by far the most comprehensive reference for functions and formulas available. Standing at over a thousand pages you could argue that it's exhaustive nature exceeds a student's needs, but for anyone who uses mathematics, both in research or industry, this book is truly essential.
Every function you've ever heard of, and many many more, are approached from every angle. Rigorously defined, and hundreds of properties, all listed in a logical order. Useful formulas are always simple to find. Whilst the numerical methods for evaluating functions could do with an update in places, they are always clearly explained. True, the tables are larger than they need to be, but nevertheless often serve as convenient reference for tests.
This is a truly remarkable compilation. Perhaps a few hundred years down the line, this book will be regarded as affectionately, and considered as significant achievement as the first dictionary!

Format:Paperback
This is an excellent, and one of the standar, reference books for functions and formulae. If you do much applied mathematics at all, then this book can save a large amount of time with its large list of properties of the various functions.
Large coverage of functions such as bessel functions, and hypergeometric functions.
It should be on the desks of most physicists and engineers.

_the_ reference. if you want to write code to calculate a function. this book will give you several options for series and has tables of example values, so you can check you got it right.
