Mathematical methods and special functions have long served as the backbone of modern theoretical physics and applied mathematics. These tools enable researchers to solve complex differential ...

NIST has released a five-chapter preview of the much-anticipated online Digital Library of Mathematical Functions. In development for over a decade, the DLMF is designed to be a modern successor to a ...

Mathematics is one of the oldest disciplines of study. For all its antiquity, however, it is a modern, rapidly growing field. Only 70 years ago, mathematics might have been said to consist of algebra, ...

The Handbook of Mathematical Functions by Milton Abramovich and Irene Stegun is the one book I would wish to have on a desert island. Unlike a novel, it withstands infinities of rereadings. Its ...

In this paper we deal with the following problems: When do the solutions of a collection of differential equations satisfy an elementary relation, that is, when is there an equation of the form R = 0 ...
