Anyone interested in this might be interested in the NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions https://dlmf.nist.gov/ 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…

EDIT: oops, just realized that you were referring to a later version of the classic. I was referring to Abramowitz and Stegun's Handbook of Mathematical Functions with formulas, graphs, and mathematical tables (1964).
