A famous textbook but fame does not accord to its contents
How disappointed when I received the 3 books of higher transcendental functions. The books just packed with formulas
and with no examples and no exercises.
I think that is not he original ideas of Harry Bateman.
One if has a copy of his book on partial differential equations,
one would have a feeling that the Bateman Manscript Team actually
negate Bateman's idea.
For BOOKS OF SPECIAL FUNCTIONS, THERE IS NO PROBLEM TO FIND ONE,
THAT IS THS ETERNAL " A COURSE OF MODERN ANALYSIS " BY WHITTAKER
AND WATSON. THIS BOOK IS REALLY A ALL TIME CLASSIC AND THE PRICE IS MUCH, MUCH, MUCH CHEAPER AND THE QUALITY IS MUCH, MUCH, MUCH HIGHER!!!!!

Classic Reference
One of the, if not THE, classic reference for higher transcendentalfunctions. ... Read more
