[SIGCIS-Members] Mathematical Tables Page

[David Alan Grier]

All,
	I just received a note via a long chain that ended with Mary Croarken  
about a new web page by Denis Roegel that presents a very complete  
analysis of most of the major mathematical table projects prior to the  
20th century, including both Vlacq and Prony.  While the subject  
predates the interests of many on this list, it remains an important  
part of computing history and deserves to be better known.    The link  
is http://www.loria.fr/~roegel/locomat.html
