Errors in Mathematical Tables

Abstract

I AM now trying to consolidate for publication, partly in a new American National Research Council quarterly, and partly in a book entitled“A Computer's Guide to Mathematical Tables”, the work that I have done during the past twenty years on compiling lists of errors in mathematical tables. I should be glad to be told of any known errors in tables, or to have references to published lists. News of unpublished tables would also be appreciated.
