An atlas of functions: with equator, the atlas function calculator

This second edition of An Atlas of Functions, with Equator, the Atlas Function Calculator, provides comprehensive information on several hundred functions or function families, of interest to all those scientists, engineers and mathematicians who are concerned with the quantitative aspects of their field. Beginning with simple integer-valued functions, the book progresses to polynomials, exponential, trigonometric, Bessel, and hypergeometric functions, as well asmany more. The 65 chapters are arranged roughly in order of increasing complexity, mathematical sophistication being kept to a minimum while utility is stressed throughout. In addition to providing definitions and simple properties for every function, each chapter catalogs more complex interrelationships as well as the derivatives, integrals, Laplace transforms and other characteristicsof the function. Numerous color figures in 2 or 3 dimensions depict their shape and qualitative features and flesh out the reader’s familiarity with the functions. Modernized and upgraded edition of a valuable reference work first published in 1987 Uses the language of mathematics that is common to all branches of science and engineering Print volume includes the inclusion of innovativesoftware--Equator, the Atlas Function Calculator Once installed onto your Windows XP based PC, this unique function calculator instantly generates precise function values on demand
