Mathematical methods and special functions have long served as the backbone of modern theoretical physics and applied mathematics. These tools enable researchers to solve complex differential ...

NIST has released a five-chapter preview of the much-anticipated online Digital Library of Mathematical Functions. In development for over a decade, the DLMF is designed to be a modern successor to a ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. From the sixteenth century, computing ...

A solution to the greatest unresolved problem in pure mathematics – Riemann's hypothesis – could be coming closer, thanks to a remarkable international collaboration involving mathematicians from the ...

The Handbook of Mathematical Functions by Milton Abramovich and Irene Stegun is the one book I would wish to have on a desert island. Unlike a novel, it withstands infinities of rereadings. Its ...
