Summary

The subject of this book is the theory of special functions, not considered as a list of functions exhibiting a certain range of properties, but based on the unified study of singularities of second-order ordinary differential equations in the complex domain. The number and characteristics of the singularities serve as a basis for classification of each individual special function. Links between linear special functions (as solutions of linear second-orderequations), and non-linear special fu…

Critics Review

The main aim of the book is to be a tool for practical use for applied mathematicians, physicists and engineers. It offers a very systematic treatment, without too many proofs, and can be complemented by software that is available separately. The book has a lot of helpful pictures, diagrams and tables. EMS
