       | It's the digital successor to the Handbook of Mathematical
       | Functions with Formulas, Graphs, and Mathematical Tables by
       | NIST's predecessor NBS. It's a classic reference which google
       | scholar says has like 120k citations. It's colloquially called
       | "Abramowitz and Stegun" after the editors. My pet hypothesis is
       | that it's so well known partially because "Ab..." tends to put as
       | the very first entry in most of those 120k reference lists.
       | 
       | It's a super handy reference for all sorts of various properties
       | of special functions. To say it's extensive is an understatement.

         | In that sense its maybe closer to Axiom
