Mathematical Tables Project
ID: mathematical-tables-project
The Mathematical Tables Project refers to a historical initiative primarily aimed at compiling, producing, and disseminating mathematical tables to aid in calculations and various scientific computations. One prominent example of such an effort is the "Mathematical Tables" created by mathematicians in the early to mid-20th century, often involving extensive collaborations and labor. These tables typically included values for functions such as logarithms, trigonometric functions, exponential functions, and other mathematical computations that were labor-intensive to calculate by hand.
