This three-volume series is based in part on notes by Professor Harry Bateman of the California Institute of Technology, who embarked upon a project in his final years that he believed would prove of great value to scientists in all fields. Higher Transcendental Functions, compiled by an editorial team led by a preeminent mathematical scholar, is the culmination of Professor Bateman's goal. The books, which can be used independently of each other, consist of Volume 1, which focuses on hypergeometric series; Volume 2, an exploration of Bessel functions, orthogonal polynomials, and elliptic functions and integrals; and Volume 3, an examination of automorphic functions, spheroidal and ellipsoidal wave functions, and other functions. 1953 ed. All volumes 53/8 x 81/2.
