✦ Synopsis

Scientists with the NACA with an extensive mathematica1 background, have admirably succeeded in compiling in the space of 350 pages al1 detailed information relating to elliptic functions and elliptic integrals which may be required in the solution of most practica1 problems.

The authors adopt the Legendre-Jacobi definitions and notation as best suited in the majority of practica1 applications.

The gen-era1 plan of the handbook is as follows: The first 40 pages are devoted to definitions and fundamental relations of elliptic integrals, Jacobi's elliptic functions, Jacobi's inverse elliptic functions, the Jacobi Zeta function and the Heuman Lambda function.
