✦ Synopsis

Slavyanov (St. Petersburg State U.) and Lay (U. Stuttgart) present a new theory of special functions as a field of knowledge lying at the intersection of mathematics, physics, and computer science. Chapters discuss linear second-order ODEs with polynomial coefficients; the hypergeometric class of equations; the Heun class of equations; application to physical sciences; and the Painleve class of equations.Book News, Inc.R, Portland, OR
