vii) Tables 
There are numerous handbooks presenting numerical and quantitative information in 
tabular form. As mathematics, physical sciences, engineering and technology are 
largely concerned with quantification, we have countless handbooks of science 
having numerical information in tabular form. It is convenient to present numerical 
data in tables where existence of language barrier is absent. Hence, we have quite a 
few handbooks of tables in multi-languages in differ-eat countries. Users find it easy 
to locate and grasp the data available in tabular form. Scientific and technical data 
regarding boiling and melting points, density, atomic weights, solubility, 
mathematical calculations for daily wages, taxes, etc. can be very well presented in 
tables.
