Description
Special functions are essential for solving problems in virtually all engineering disciplines. Assuming only knowledge of elementary calculus and differential equations, this concise, clearly written reference illustrates the properties and applications of the special functions most frequently needed by practising engineers. Copious illustrations of worked out sample problems from a wide range of real-world engineering applications distinguish this work from others.
