Originally published in 1946, this book was prepared on behalf of the Committee for the Calculation of Mathematical Tables. The text contains a series of tables with data relating to the Airy function. The tables were developed by Jeffrey Charles Percy Miller (1906–81), a British mathematician who was integral to the development of computing. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in differential equations and the history of mathematics.
