β¦ Synopsis
This updated edition will continue to meet the needs for an authoritative comprehensive analysis of the rapidly growing field of basic hypergeometric series, or q-series. It includes deductive proofs, exercises, and useful appendices. Three new chapters have been added to this edition covering q-series in two and more variables: linear- and bilinear-generating functions for basic orthogonal polynomials; and summation and transformation formulas for elliptic hypergeometric series. In addition, the text and bibliography have been expanded to reflect recent developments. First Edition Hb (1990): 0-521-35049-2

A solid reference on the subject. Material on generalized hypergeometric functions (starting with Gauss' hypergeometric function) is presented followed by the q analogy's. The material is advanced and is well written with a tight and readable typeface. The introduction to q series will satisfy t
