摘要: Special functions are pervasive in all fields of science and industry. The most well-known application areas physics, engineering, chemistry, computer statistics. Because their importance, several books websites (see for instance http: functions.wolfram.com) a large collection papers have been devoted to these functions. Of the standard work on subject, Handbook mathematical with formulas, graphs tables edited by Milton Abramowitz Irene Stegun, American National Institute Standards claims sold over 700 000 copies! But so far no project has systematic study continued fraction representations This handbook is result such an endeavour. We emphasise that only 10% fractions contained this book, can also be found Stegun or at Wolfram website!
