PUBLISHER'S NOTICE TO REVIEWERS AND READERS CONCERNING THE QUALITY OF PRODUCTION AND PUBLISHED PRICE OF THIS WORK We much regret that in the interest of speedily making available the information contained in this publication, it has been necessary to produce the text by non-letterpress setting and photo lithography, with the result that the quality of production is not as high as the public have come to associate with and expect from the Pergamon Press. To have re-set this manuscript by letterpress would have delayed its appearance by many months and the price would have had to be increased further. The cost of translating scientific and technical works from the Russian in time, money, and publishing effort is very considerable. In the interest of getting the Soviet Authorities eventually to pay the usual authors' royalties to Western authors, the Pergamon Press is voluntarily paying to Russian authors the usual authors' royalties on this publication, in addition to the translators' and editors' fees. This and the somewhat limited market and the lack of any kind of subsidy accounts for what may appear to be a higher than usual published price. I. R. MAXWELL Publisher at Pergamon Press A GUIDE TO MATHEMATICAL TABLES N. M. BURUNOVA English edition prepared from the Russian by D.G.FRY B.A. (Hons.)

Library of Congress Card Number 60-10217 Printed in Great Britain by PERGAMON PRINTING & ART SERVICES LTD., LONDON TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE Like the Guide, this Supplement has been prepared from the original Russian edition by a photographic process. The Russian text has been replaced by English, but the tabular matter has been reproduced direct from the original. The necessary result of this is that Russian standard notation is employed, which differs from that most commonly employed in England as indicated in the following table: Russian English tg tan ctg cot -. arc sin (etc) sin~x lg log (base 10) sh sinh ch cosh th tanh cth coth T ar sinh (etc) sinh"" -££ (-*) E (x) • ± 0°,1; 0,0001" (etc.) 0.1°; 0.0001" Other comments on differences in presentation made in the translator's preface to the Guide apply with equal force to this Supplement. A translation of titles given in Cyrillic script in the reference section (Russian, Ukrainian and Bulgarian), is to be found on pp.184 et seq. Finally, the user of this Supplement is also recommended to consult the translated preface to the original Russian edition. D. G. Fry. This book is Supplement No. I to A Guide to Mathematical Tables by A.V. Lebedev and R.M. Fedorova, also published by Pergamon Press P R E F A CE The present work is a continuation of the Guide to Mathematical Tables compiled by A.V. Lebedev and R.M. Pedorova and published by the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences in 1956. It contains information on tables which have been published in the U.S.S.R. and abroad since the publication of the Guide, and also on tables which, for various reasons, did not find their way into the Guide. The holdings of the central libraries in the U.S.S.R. have been used in the compilation of this Supplement. Other sources include the abstracts journal Mathematics up to 6, 1958, Mathematical tables and other aids to computation up to 60, 1957 and Mathematical Reviews up~~t(r'8, 1958 (all inclusive"}^ In a few cases the information given is not complete as the reference was taken from one of the journals mentioned above and not from the primary source. The material in this Supplement has been arranged in the same way as in the Guide. The chapter and section headings have been retained with certain exceptions in which it has been necessary to expand. Chapter 4 in the Guide, for example, is entitled "Decimal and Natural Logarithms'1, whereas in the Supplement it is entitled "Logarithms" since logarithms with base 2 have been included. Where there is no new infor­ mation for a section in the Guide it is not mentioned in the Supplement. We have provided an index to the tables of 17 A Guide to Mathematical Tables contents of both the Guide and the Supplement, since these tables of contents are difficult to use on account of their size. This index lists all functions included in both the Guide and the Supplement in the same order in which they are encountered in the tables of contents, and the pages on which they are to be found in both tables of contents are given to the right. If, for example, one wants information on existing tables of Airy functions one establishes from the index to the table of contents that Airy functions are included in Chapter 10 and are listed on pages XXI and XXIII in the tables of contents of the Guide and the Supplement respectively. The first part of the Supplement describes mathematical tables in the following order: 1) the accuracy of the table, i.e. the number of decimal places or significant figures; 2) the limits of variation of the argument and the interval of the table; 3) the serial number of the book or journal in the reference material in the second half of the Supplement. For example, the entry 4 dec. x = 0(0,1)3;>3 /15/ shows that the table gives values of the function to four decimals for the argument x, which varies from 0 to 3 in steps of 0.1 and for certain values of x>3, and that this table is included in the work mentioned under entry /15/ in the references to the chapter concerned. The following abbreviations have been adopted in the descriptions of the tables: exact - exact values fig. or f. - significant figures. Preface V dec. or d. - decimal places rec. - recurring decimal (variable) or (var.) - variable step h - hours m - minutes (time) sec. or s. - seconds (time) g - grads (i.e. hundredths of a right angle) c - hundredths of a grad cc - ten thousandths of a grad The Introduction to the Guide should be consulted for other details concerning the descrip­ tion of tables and the symbols employed. The second part of the Supplement contains a list of the sources referred to in the first part. The author, title, publishing house and date and place of publication are given for books, and the name of the journal, year of publication, series, volume and number, page and author and title of the article cited for journals. If the book or journal is held in an open- access library in Moscow or Leningrad, this library is indicated after the title of the edition. When a book has been issued in a large edition by a Soviet publishing house a holding source has not been indicated. (Translator's note. The information referred to in this paragraph has been omitted from the English edition). The author wishes to express his deep gratitude to K.A. Karpov for the attention which he has given to the work and for valuable advice and assistance during the preparation of the manuscript. All comments and requests concerning the Guide and the Supplement should be addressed to the Computing Centre of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences.
