Thanks for the info.

Just so this idea doesn’t get lost or forgotten, it is worth considering to have the organization of the various libraries structured to match the taxonomies developed over the years. The NIST Guide to Available Mathematical Software ([GAMS](https://gams.nist.gov/)) as well as the Digital Library of Mathematical Functions (DLMF) were mentioned in this older thread.

Traditionally, that was for a long time the “blue book” \*Handbook of Mathematical Functions", by Abramowitz and Stegun. However, the American National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST) has sing long ago taken the burden on its shoulder. After countless years of work and revision, the new [D…](https://dlmf.nist.gov/)

Hopefully, that will make teaching the math along with the programming easier.
