The main use of the tables was in statistics and the experimental design of scientific experiments, especially those that used the Monte Carlo method ; in cryptography, they have also been used as nothing up my sleeve numbers, for example in the design of the Khafre cipher.

The book was one of the last of a series of random number tables produced from the mid-1920s through the 1950s, after which the development of high-speed computers allowed faster operation through the generation of pseudorandom numbers rather than reading them from tables.
