Mathematical Tables Project

She had been unable to find a university position and was working at a photographic company before joining the project.The Mathematical Tables Project survived the termination of the WPA in 1943 and continued to operate in New York until 1948.Blanch moved to Los Angeles to lead the computing office of the Institute for Numerical Analysis at UCLA and Arnold Lowan joined the faculty of Yeshiva University in New York.The greatest legacy of the project is the Handbook of Mathematical Functions,[3] which was published 16 years after the group disbanded.Edited by two veterans of the project, Milton Abramowitz and Irene Stegun, it became a widely circulated mathematical and scientific reference.
