{"product_id":"special-functions","title":"Special Functions","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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 valuable text and reference work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sergei Yuryevitsh Slavyanov","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43575272276029,"sku":"9780198505730","price":664.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9780198505730.jpg?v=1788561846","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/special-functions","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
