{"product_id":"special-functions-sergei-yu-slavyanov-9780198505730","title":"Special Functions: A Unified Theory Based on Singularities","description":"The subject of this book is the theory of special functions, not considered as a list of functions exhibiting a certain range of properties, but based on the unified study of singularities of second-order ordinary differential equations in the complex domain. The number and characteristics of the singularities serve as a basis for classification of each individual special function. Links between linear special functions (as solutions of linear second-order equations), and non-linear special functions (as solutions of Painlevé equations) are presented as a basic and new result. Many applications to different areas of physics are shown and discussed. The book is written from a practical point of view and will address all those scientists whose work involves applications of mathematical methods. Lecturers, graduate students and researchers will find this a useful text and reference work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sergei Yu Slavyanov, Wolfgang Lay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198505736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198505730\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/16\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2001 pg. 44","brand":"Sergei Yu Slavyanov","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46110624645375,"sku":"9780198505730","price":335.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c91a3e3e-0160-4c1d-97dd-af496b24dd44.jpg?v=1725469307","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/special-functions-sergei-yu-slavyanov-9780198505730","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
