CRC Press Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
The CRC Press, LLC is a publishing group which specializes in producing technical books in a wide range of subjects. While many books published relate to science or mathematics their scope also includes books on business and information technology.
The CRC Press was originally founded as the Chemical Rubber Company (CRC), which supplied laboratory equipment to chemists. In 1913 the CRC offered a short manual called the Rubber Handbook as an incentive to purchase one of their products. Since then the Rubber Handbook has evolved into the CRC's flagship book, the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, which is now printed in its 84th edition. The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics is widely regarded as an important resource for research scientists.
In October 2000, CRC Press sued the Wolfram Research Institute over copyright matters related to MathWorld, which is coordinated by Eric W. Weisstein. After MathWorld was shut down for over a year, much to the dismay of many in the academic community, CRC Press settled with MathWorld and for an undisclosed financial award and several stipulations. The CRC Press secured the rights to produce a book based on the content of MathWorld.
