[资源] 剑桥2010年英文原版Special.Functions-.A.Graduate.Text

The subject of special functions is often presented as a collection of disparate results,
which are rarely organized in a coherent way. This book answers the need for a
different approach to the subject. The authors’ main goals are to emphasize general
unifying principles and to provide clear motivation, efficient proofs, and original
references for all of the principal results.
The book covers standard material, but also much more, including chapters on
discrete orthogonal polynomials and elliptic functions. The authors show how a very
large part of the subject traces back to two equations – the hypergeometric equation
and the confluent hypergeometric equation – and describe the various ways in which
these equations are canonical and special.
Each chapter closes with a summary that provides both a convenient guide to the
logical development and a useful compilation of the formulas. This book serves as an
ideal graduate-level textbook as well as a convenient reference.
Richard Beals is Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at Yale University.
Roderick Wong is Professor of Mathematics and Vice President for Research at
City University of Hong Kong.
