"Still in print more than a century after its 1902 publication, this historic text by two great mathematicians has inspired generations of students and scholars. The original treatment consists of two parts, The Processes of Analysis and The Transcendental Functions; a final chapter, Ellipsoidal Harmonies and Lane's Equations, was added in 1920. An essential work for students of analysis and historians of mathematics and literature"-- Provided by publisher
The book presents groundbreaking insights into the theory of functions of a complex variable, making it the first comprehensive resource in English at the undergraduate level. It explores special functions and their differential equations, reflecting E T Whittaker's pioneering contributions to mathematics. As a prominent mathematician and professor, Whittaker's work laid the foundation for future studies in this field, highlighting his significant role in advancing mathematical analysis during the early 20th century.
