Compared to creating your own collection (as you suggested in your original question), selecting & downloading the formula individually from DLMF is easy, so I assume that's not the issue. Presumably, the licensing is? The DLMF editors chose the more traditional approach of reserving all rights, and letting potential special case users ask explicitly for the rights to do special things. This is in contrast to the blanket open-source in advance approach. In other words, you probably can do with it what you want, but you'll have to ask. If neither of these are the issue, then I'm at a loss. Perhaps you should be very explicit about what's wrong with the various offered maths, or create your own set? bruce
