CRC Standard Mathematical Tables and Formulae, 31st Edition by Daniel Zwillinger
A perennial bestseller, the 30th edition of CRC Standard Mathematical Tables and Formulae was the first "modern" edition of the handbook - adapted to be useful in the era of personal computers and powerful handheld devices. Now this version will quickly establish itself as the "user-friendly" edition. With a detailed table of contents and an extensive index listing over 6,000 entries, the 31st edition of this hugely successful handbook makes information even easier to locate. New in the 31st edition: Game theory and voting power Heuristic search techniques Quadratic fields Reliability Risk analysis and decision rules A table of solutions to Pell's equation A table of irreducible polynomials in Z2[x] An interpretation of powers of 10 A collection of "proofs without words" Representations of groups of small order Counting principles Tesselations and tilings …and much more! An indispensable, up-to-date resource, CRC Standard Mathematical Tables and Formulae, 31st Edition makes it effortless to find the equations, tables, and formulae you need most often.… This 31st edition (published in 2003) is a big improvement over my 27th edition, in selection of material, in organization, and in appearanceThe index is very thorough, and I was able to find the answers to my test questions almost immediately through the index. … this book has an edge over the web in a couple of areas. One is statistics: unlike math, statistics does not a large presence on the web, and it’s hard to find answers to statistical methods questions there. The present book has 100 pages of useful statistical methods. The other area is for browsing for a useful result. When working on a math problem, it’s often valuable to look through handbooks for results or formulas that resemble the result you need and that you may be able to adapt to your needs. It’s very hard to do a web search for this purpose.
—Allen Stenger, MAA Reviews, May 2010
The 31st edition of the CRC Standard Mathematical Tables and Formulae is, without a doubt, the new and improved bible of mathematics. It is an outstanding reference book, containing more than 30 new sections, covering more than 3,000 items, and including tables, properties, etc. The index has been revamped to make it faster and easier to find results. Author Daniel Zwillinger has done an excellent job keeping the same successful format that has characterized earlier editions of the handbook. It won’t teach you math, but if you use math for any project, you will find what you need to know here. … Mathematicians will find this handbook indispensable—an absolute must-have desk reference. The ready access of tables that may be needed in mathematical endeavors will make life much easier for engineers, scientists, mathematicians, or even for those who are in the process of studying these and related subjects.
—John Vacca, former computer security official for NASA’s space station program (Freedom), The Barnes & Noble Review
An excellent reference resource for all readership levels, this guide offers easy navigation through a browseable table of contents and an extensive index. It follows a natural progression for those studying the subject. It is logical, useful, and affordable. Summing up: Highly Recommended.

Dr. Daniel Zwillinger works for Raytheon as a Senior Principal Systems Engineer. He was a requirements and test lead for tracking on the Ungraded Early Warning Radars (UEWR) and a systems requirements book boss for the Cobra Judy Replacement (CJR) ship. He was the test lead on an Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar and enhanced the Zumwalt destroyer's software certification procedure. Dan is a Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) subject matter expert (SME) in Test Optimization, Critical Chain Program Management, and Voice of the Customer. He is currently in charge of a project aimed at fostering trust in autonomous systems.
He won the President's award for outstanding Six Sigma project of the year twice while at Raytheon: once for transforming planning packages into work packages for the Patriot missile, and again for upgrading Raytheon's timecard system. He was in charge of the white belt training program for Six Sigma. Dan worked at Sandia Labs, JPL, Exxon, MITRE, IDA, BBN, and The Mathworks (where he created an early version of their Statistical Toolbox) before joining Raytheon. Zwillinger was the owner and president of Aztec Corporation for fifteen years.
Aztec earned multiple Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contracts as a small business. Many software programs for publishing companies were also developed by the company. Prior to joining Aztec, Zwillinger worked as a mathematics professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Dan has produced works on differential equations, integration, statistics, and general mathematics, among other topics.
He is the editor-in-chief of the Chemical Rubber Company's (CRC) Standard Mathematical Tables and Formulae and a member of the CRC's Handbook of Chemistry and Physics editorial board. Zwillinger graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with a bachelor's degree in mathematics. The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) awarded him a PhD in applied mathematics. Zwillinger is an ASQ-certified Six Sigma Black Belt and a Raytheon Six Sigma Specialist.
He is also a licensed pilot.
