Milton Abramowitz (19 February 1915 in Brooklyn, New York – 5 July 1958) was a Jewish American mathematician at the National Bureau of Standards who, with Irene Stegun, edited a classic book of mathematical tables called Handbook of Mathematical Functions, widely known as Abramowitz and Stegun. Abramowitz died of a heart attack in 1958, at which time the book was not yet completed but was well underway. Stegun took over management of the project and was able to finish the work by 1964, working under the direction of the NBS Chief of Numerical Analysis Philip J. Davis, who was also a contributor to the book.

  • Milton Abramowitz (* 1915 in Brooklyn, New York City; † 5. Juli 1958) war ein US-amerikanischer Mathematiker. (de)
  • Milton Abramowitz (Brooklyn, Nueva York, 1915 - 5 de julio de 1958) fue un matemático de origen judío​ estadounidense. Junto con Irene Stegun, editó en la Oficina Nacional de Normas un libro clásico de tablas matemáticas, el Manual de Funciones Matemáticas, ampliamente conocido como Abramowitz y Stegun. Abramowitz murió de un ataque al corazón en 1958, momento en el que el libro aún no se había completado. Stegun se hizo cargo de la gestión del proyecto y pudo terminar el manual en 1964, trabajando bajo la dirección del Jefe de Análisis Numérico de la NBS, Philip J. Davis, quien también contribuyó al libro. El trabajo principal de producir tablas matemáticas fiables fue parte del proyecto del WPA de Franklin Roosevelt. (es)

Abramowitz est mort d'une crise cardiaque en 1958, à un moment où le livre était bien avancé mais pas encore complètement terminé. Irene Stegun a repris la gestion du projet, et a terminé le livre en 1964. Elle travaillait sous la direction de Philip J.

Trabalhou no National Institute of Standards and Technology onde, em cooperação com Irene Stegun, editou o clássico Handbook of Mathematical Functions. Abramowitz faleceu em consequência de um infarto em 1958, quando o livro ainda não estava completo. Stegun assumiu a gerência do projeto e finalizou a obra em 1964, trabalhando sob a direção do chefe da seção de análise numérica do National Institute of Standards and Technology Philip Davis, que foi também um dos colaboradores do livro. O maior trabalho na produção de tabelas matemáticas confiáveis foi parte do projeto Works Progress Administration de Franklin Roosevelt. (pt)
