Preface
It has long been the established policy of CRC Press to publish, in handbook form,

material available. Prior to the preparation of this 31 st Edition of the CRC Standard
Mathematical Tables and Formulae, the content of such a book was reconsidered.
The previous edition was carefully analyzed, and input was obtained from practi-
tioners in the many branches of mathematics, engineering, and the physical sciences.
The consensus was that numerous small additions were required in several sections,
and several new areas needed to be added.
Some of the new materials included in this edition are: game theory and voting
power, heuristic search techniques, quadratic elds, reliability, risk analysis and de-
cision rules, a table of solutions to Pell’s equation, a table of irreducible polynomials
