About The Book
This comprehensive and clear guide to special functions is an ideal resource for undergraduates and professionals alike. Providing straightforward explanations, the book covers a range of essential topics in special functions, making it accessible to readers with only a basic understanding of elementary calculus.
The content explores the solution of second-order differential equations in terms of power series, as well as key functions such as gamma and beta functions, Legendre polynomials, Bessel functions, and Hermite, Laguerre, and Chebyshev polynomials. The book also delves into more advanced functions, including Gegenbauer and Jacobi polynomials and hypergeometric functions.
Three helpful appendices offer convenient tabulations of important results, while a variety of worked examples and problems – complete with hints and solutions – ensure that readers can reinforce their understanding. Whether you're a student learning the fundamentals or a professional in need of a reference, this text provides the tools to master special functions and apply them effectively in various mathematical contexts.
