A Course of Modern Analysis

Cambridge Mathematical Library

by Edmund Taylor Whittaker, G.N. Watson

This classic text has entered and held the field as the standard book on the applications of analysis to the transcendental functions. The authors explain the methods of modern analysis in the first part of the book and then proceed to a detailed discussion of the transcendental function, unhampered by the necessity of continually proving new theorems for special applications. In this way the authors have succeeded in being rigorous without imposing on the reader the mass of detail that so often tends to make a rigorous demonstration tedious. Researchers and students will find this book as valuable as ever.

[Wissam Raji · Rating 5 out of 5]

A must-have classic in the theory of classical analysis. Treatment of topics is highly beneficial for number theorists, analysts, and algebraists. It is one of the excellent references to own. The topics treated about the special functions are rare to find in other books and are very useful for students in analytic number theory.
