Publisher's Synopsis
This textbook is intended as a supplement to courses in classical or quantum mechanics, electrodynamics or any other physics course in which the reader encounters hypergeometric functions. It aims to serve as a reference for hypergeometric functions, for the relationship of hypergeometric functions to special functions, and for those areas of special functions which are useful in physics. The reader should have completed two or three semesters of calculus and should also have some knowledge of Schrodinger's equations. Courses at the intermediate level in classical mechanics and/or electricity and magnetism are also desirable but not essential.
