Is there a central authority or repository for physics equations something like the International Bureau of Weights and Measures but for formulas?

The reason for my question is if I find a stock physics equation in a textbook that is incorrect and I want to see if it is incorrect everywhere through out the physics community.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Thanks, I looked at both sources however I am looking for formulas for the electric field strength around common geometrical charge shapes and neither source seemed to have any formulas for electric field strength.

My favorite reference: http://physics.illinois.edu/academics/graduates/physics-formulary.pdf

That's rather specific, and probably found in engineering texts (jbriggs444 found another place).
