Guide to Tables in the Theory of Numbers

Abstract

THE U.S. National Research Council has embarked on the ambitious venture of producing a series of reports dealing with mathematical tables and aids to computation in every branch of mathematics, as well as in allied and associated subjects. All the reports are to take fully into account what is important in current research, and are to be written in such a way as to be intelligible for the most part to specialists in other fields. The reports are prepared primarily for scholars and others active in scientific work.
