This book gives an introduction to the classical, well-known special functions which play a role in mathematical physics, especially in boundary value problems. Calculus and complex function theory form the basis of the book and numerous formulas are given. Particular attention is given to asymptomatic and numerical aspects of special functions, with numerous references to recent literature provided.

(Hardcover). This book is written to provide an easy to follow study on the subject of Special Functions and Orthogonal Polynomials. It is written in such a way that it can be used as a self study text. Basic knowledge of calculus and differential equations is needed. The book is intended to help students in engineering, physics and applied sciences understand various aspects of Special Functions and Orthogonal Polynomials that very often occur in engineering, physics, mathematics and applied sciences. The book is organized in chapters that are in a sense self contained. Chapter 1 deals with series solutions of Differential Equations. Gamma and Beta functions are studied in Chapter 2 together with other functions that are defined by integrals. Legendre Polynomials and Functions are studied in Chapter 3. Chapters 4 and 5 deal with Hermite, Laguerre and other Orthogonal Polynomials. A detailed treatise of Bessel Function in given in Chapter 6.

This book, written by a highly distinguished author, provides the required mathematical tools for researchers active in the physical sciences. The book presents a full suit of elementary functions for scholars at PhD level. The opening chapter introduces elementary classical special functions. The final chapter is devoted to the discussion of functions of matrix argument in the real case. The text and exercises have been class-tested over five different years.

It is with great pleasure that I introduce the first edition of the book titled “Applications of Special Functions and Fractional Calculus in Statistics and Other Fields” to our esteemed readers. In today’s world of science and technology, mathematics plays a vital role in opening new horizons of intellectual exploration. This comprehensive book is divided into three chapters, providing readers with a deep understanding of the power and versatility of special functions. The concepts are presented in a clear and accessible manner, accompanied by practical examples that demonstrate their application. Whether you are a student, researcher, or practitioner in the fields of mathematics or engineering physics, this book serves as an indispensable resource for comprehending and utilizing special functions to address various problems. It equips readers with the essential tools to navigate the complexities of these functions and apply them effectively in their respective disciplines. With its rich content and practical approach, “Applications of Special Functions and Fractional Calculus in Statistics and Other Fields” promises to be an invaluable companion for those seeking a comprehensive understanding of special functions and their real-world implications.

An overview of special functions, focusing on the hypergeometric functions and the associated hypergeometric series.

A detailed and self-contained and unified treatment of many mathematical functions which arise in applied problems, as well as the attendant mathematical theory for their approximations. many common features of the Bessel functions, Legendre functions, incomplete gamma functions, confluent hypergeometric functions, as well as of otherw, can be derived. Hitherto, many of the material upon which the volumes are based has been available only in papers scattered throughout the literature.

The Russian mathematician views the theoretical and practical aspects of special functions and illustrates their significance in problem solving in physics and engineering
