<p>From the reviews: <p> Special functions refer to functions, of one or several real or complex variables, that play key roles in one area of mathematics, particularly number theory, combinatorics, complex analysis, differential equations, Lie group representations, probability, statistics, and mathematical physics. Summing Up: Recommended. Comprehensive academic, technical program, and professional collections, all levels. (D. V. Feldman, Choice, Vol. 46 (5), January, 2009)<p> This book differs significant from other text books on special functions, because every chapter deals with the topic on one of the courses of the SSF. Many examples illustrate the use of theorems and formulas. At the end of each section exercises are given. An interesting book for all scientists interested in applications of special functions in physical sciences. It contains a speedy access to many special functions used in applications and also a lot of applications. (H.-J. Glaeske, Zentralblatt MATH, Vo
