Mathematica Tables of Integrals and Other Mathematical Data?

AI Thread Summary
Dwight's "Tables of Integrals and Other Mathematical Data" is highly recommended for physics courses, but its out-of-print status raises questions about its accessibility. The discussion explores whether it is worth the effort to find a copy or if there are modern alternatives still in print. Mathematica is suggested as a potentially superior resource compared to traditional books. Additionally, the conversation highlights the availability of "Abramowitz and Stegun" as a legal download, which serves as a useful reference for integrals. Online resources like Wikipedia also provide lists of integrals, further supporting the search for modern alternatives in mathematical data.

Hello, I've recently been looking at a few web pages that highly recommend Dwight's "Tables of Integrals and Other Mathematical Data" for use in physics courses. Is it worthwhile trying to find a copy of this out-of-print book, is there a modern alternative that is still in print, or is Mathematica a better idea than any book?
