This text provides undergraduates with a straightforward guide to special functions. Topics include the solution of 2nd-order differential equations in terms of power series; gamma and beta functions; Legendre polynomials and functions; Bessel functions; Hermite, Laguerre, and Chebyshev polynomials; more. Includes worked examples and problems with some hints and solutions. 1968 edition. 25 figures. Unabridged republication of the edition published by D. Van Nostrand Company Ltd., London, 1968.
Special Functions & Their Applications by N. N. Lebedev, Richard R. Silverman Famous Russian work discusses the application of cylinder functions and spherical harmonics; gamma function; probability integral and related functions; Airy functions; hyper-geometric functions; more. Translated by Richard Silverman.
Theory of Functions, Parts I and II by Konrad Knopp Handy one-volume edition. Part I considers general foundations of theory of functions; Part II stresses special and characteristic functions. Proofs given in detail. Introduction. Bibliographies.
Mathematical Methods for Physicists and Engineers: Second Corrected Edition by Royal Eugene Collins Practical text focuses on fundamental applied math needed to deal with physics and engineering problems: elementary vector calculus, special functions of mathematical physics, calculus of variations, much more. 1968 edition.
Algebraic Geometry by Solomon Lefschetz An introduction to algebraic geometry and a bridge between its analytical-topological and algebraical aspects, this text for advanced undergraduate students is particularly relevant to those more familiar with analysis than algebra. 1953 edition.
