 You can't call a source outdated, which still covers information that the
 newer source doesn't. I checked your link, and some things from A&S are
 missign e.g. explicit representation of Legendre Polynomials with their
 polynomial coefficients.
 And on another note: I don't see much harm in citing a classic work on
 this topic ...
