About The Book
This new translation of N. N. Lebedev's renowned work brings to English-speaking audiences an accessible introduction to the theory and practical applications of special functions. Known for its clarity and practical orientation, this book is an excellent resource for students and applied mathematicians alike.
Lebedev covers a broad spectrum of topics, including cylindrical functions, spherical harmonics, and a variety of special functions used in physics and engineering. Key areas of focus include the gamma function, probability integrals, exponential integrals, orthogonal polynomials, Airy functions, hypergeometric functions, and parabolic cylinder functions. Each chapter is designed to be self-contained, allowing readers to dive into specific topics without needing to follow the material sequentially.
The book's structured and systematic approach makes it an invaluable resource for those seeking a deeper understanding of special functions and their applications. Practical examples, a wide range of problems, and a carefully selected bibliography further enhance its usefulness, particularly for theoretical physicists and mathematicians. Lebedev’s work stands out as a valuable, accessible course for anyone involved in mathematical applications in science and engineering.
