Later chapters discuss Bessel functions, orthogonal polynomials and transformations, the Selberg integral and its applications, spherical harmonics, q-series, partitions, and Bailey chains. This clear ...

The Mathematical Intelligencer ' … the material is written in an excellent manner … I recommend this book warmly as a rich source of information to everybody who is interested in 'Special Functions'.' ...

Understanding algebra is a very important skill when working with function machines. The dictionary tells us that a machine is a device that carries out a task. Some machines, like forklifts and ...

Instead of writing Function = multiply by 3 we can use algebra. Graphically, \(f(x) = x^2\) is the same as the graph of \(y = x^2\). Writing graphs as functions in the form of \(f(x)\) is useful ...

Explore a variety of contexts that can be modeled using families of functions. Topics include conic sections, parametric equations and polar equations. Multiple representations, transformations, data ...
