Mathematical Functions

I recently encountered two extremely useful online resources for "special functions". I mean Bessel functions, Legendre Functions, and the like.

1) NIST online library
2) Abramowitz and Stegun online
This book is a classic, its available online now !

I came across these posts while reading the cosmic variance blog.

hey raghu.......
read abt ur integeration bee.....nice concept...back in india we don't have any such calibre to solve these equations and rarely do we find such examination systems in our universities.!!!!
we have also heard of ur unprecedentented acadaemic records in india, it has been a common belief that only prodigy like you can be able to give a proper insight of the universe(what? when? where? how????? 's of the world) and take us for a voyage in spaceships bringing alive the fiction!!!!!!!!!!( this is the least we can expect as fellow indians). kindly be a little patriotic to see us through these difficult problems of astronomy and mathematics in india also....you are an icon in india, a motivation for fellow students and it would be our honour if you would open some aspects of science for common people so that we can cherish the beauty of science....plzzz kindly recommend me some books for higher studies in mathematics..........for research work in mathematics.....
wish u best of luck for winning a noble prize and a fields medal too someday for ur deep insights into science and mathematics......
