Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a direct numerical calculation method for elliptic functions and integrals. The author provides a detailed account of the method of calculation based on Landen's quadric transformation and the use of the scale of arithmetico-geometric means, highlighting the work of Lagrange, Legendre, Gauss, Jacobi, and others. The book extends the existing methods in several directions, making it a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners in various fields of physics and astronomy that involve elliptic integrals and functions. These methods have been used to construct numerical tables that allow a large number of functions to be evaluated with high accuracy. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334017346_0
