Sheet[s] ; [Functions {listed by mathematical formula}] Sheet 1 -- Sheet 5 -- Sheet 8 -- Sheet 14 -- Sheet 17 -- Sheet 21 -- Sheet 24 -- Sheet 26 -- Sheet 30 "Total Klein-Nishina cross section" function -- Sheet 31 -- Sheet 35 -- Sheet 40 -- Sheet 43 -- Sheet 46 -- Sheet 49 -- Sheet 52 -- Sheet 57 -- Sheet 61 -- Sheet 64 -- Sheet 67 -- Sheet 69 -- Sheet 71 -- Sheet 74.

Summary: This monograph deals with the subject of best approximation in the sense of Chebyshev as applied to the problem of making univariate functional data available to the high-speed digital computing machine. Our investigation is of a numerical and empirical nature. Part I of this book serves as an introduction to the collection of approximations given in Part II. Part II contains the "Approximations for Digital Computers," formerly issued as a cumulative publication of loose sheets and made available to numerical analysts upon request. Each sheet of the seventy-odd issued in this series contains an approximation of a useful or illustrative nature presented with a carefully drawn error curve.
