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 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, and many more. The 65 chapters are arranged roughly in order of increasing
complexity, mathematical sophistication being kept to a minimum while stressing utility
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 characteristics of the function. Numerous
color figures in two- or three- dimensions depict their shape and qualitative features
and flesh out the reader's familiarity with the functions. In many instances, the
chapter concludes with a concise exposition on a topic in applied mathematics associated
with the particular function or function family. Features that make the Atlas an invaluable
reference tool, yet simple to use, include: full coverage of those functions-elementary
and "special"--That meet everyday needs a standardized chapter format, making it easy
to locate needed information on such aspects as: nomenclature, general behavior, definitions,
intrarelationships, expansions, approximations, limits, and response to operations
of the calculus extensive cross-referencing and comprehensive indexing, with useful
appendices the inclusion of innovative software--Equator, the Atlas Function Calculator
the inclusion of new material dealing with interesting applications of many of the
function families, building upon the favorable responses to similar material in the
first edition
