Hello,
I have seen it too, I agree with your opinion.
I made my own here : http://pictor.math.uqam.ca/~plouffe/OEIS/archive_in_pdf/AbramowitzStegun.pdf
Someone made a djvu out of this one, it is only 17MB (pdf is 68MB). The djvu viewers also tend to be faster with paging. Would you like to grab the djvu and put it on your web site as well? (I'd then temporarily put it on my site as 17MB should be too big for emailing).
it is my own copy that I sacrificed, I had to cut it to pass it into the scanner, all the pages are with OCR and of course the tables too.
A much appreciated sacrifice!
There is a copy in vancouver as well, the source is the same.
But : did you look at <functions> at the wolfram site ?
it is maintained by Michael Trott as far as I know and the collection of formulas is pretty impressive, in plain size, this is far more extended than the 1964 version of the classical A&S. There are 307000 formulas.
Indeed an impressive collection. Minor drawbacks: 0) There needs to be more human editing, the automated generation sometimes really shows. 1) The (implicit) menu tree is always expanded, one often ends up selecting multiple times the single option available. 2) Need to enter name and email for pdf download (well, this is a Wolfram site).
best regards,
simon plouffe
