This classic work has been a unique resource for thousands of
mathematicians, scientists and engineers since its first appearance
in 1902. Never out of print, its continuing value lies in its
thorough and exhaustive treatment of special functions of
mathematical physics and the analysis of differential equations
from which they emerge. The book also is of historical value as it
was the first book in English to introduce the then modern methods
of complex analysis. This fifth edition preserves the style and
content of the original, but it has been supplemented with more
recent results and references where appropriate. All the formulas
have been checked and many corrections made. A complete
bibliographical search has been conducted to present the references
in modern form for ease of use. A new foreword by Professor S.J.
Patterson sketches the circumstances of the book's genesis and
explains the reasons for its longevity. A welcome addition to any
mathematician's bookshelf, this will allow a whole new generation
to experience the beauty contained in this text.
