Shelving Guide: Electrical Engineering In 1900 the great German
theoretical physicist Max Planck formulated a correct mathematical
description of blackbody radiation. Today, understanding the
behavior of a blackbody is of importance to many fields including
thermal and infrared systems engineering, pyrometry, astronomy,
meteorology, and illumination. This book gives an account of the
development of Planck's equation together with many of the other
functions closely related to it. Particular attention is paid to
the computational aspects employed in the evaluation of these
functions together with the various aids developed to facilitate
such calculations. The book is divided into three sections. Section
I - Thermal radiation and the blackbody problem are introduced and
discussed. Early developments made by experimentalists and
theoreticians are examined as they strove to understand the problem
of the blackbody. Section II - The development of Planck's equation
is explained as are the all-important fractional functions of the
first and second kinds which result when Planck's equation is
integrated between finite limits. A number of theoretical
developments are discussed that stem directly from Planck's law, as
are the various computational matters that arise when numerical
evaluation is required. Basic elements of radiometry that tie
together and use many of the theoretical and computational ideas
developed is also presented. Section III - A comprehensive account
of the various computational aids such as tables, nomograms,
graphs, and radiation slide rules devised and used by generations
of scientists and engineers when working with blackbody radiation
are presented as are more recent aids utilizing computers and
digital devices for real-time computations. Scientists and

engineers working in fields utilizing blackbody sources will find
this book to be a valuable guide in understanding many of the
computational aspects and nuances associated with Planck's equation
and its other closely related functions. With over 700 references,
it provides an excellent research resource.
This study reviews developments and issues in the exchange
arrangements and currency convertibility of IMF members. Completed
in 1997, the report outlines the developments on the basis of
information available at that time. The principle information
source is the Annual Report on Exchange Arrangements and Exchange
Restrictions (AREAER) prepared in consultation with national
authorities.
