Description for Special Functions of Mathematical (Geo-)Physics
Paperback. The topics covered in this inclusive text on geomathematics vary according to their measurement parameters and field characteristics, combining to provide mathematicians, physicists, and geoscientists with a potent special functions toolkit in problem-solving. Series: Applied and Numerical Harmonic Analysis. Num Pages: 516 pages, 19 black & white illustrations, 18 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PBKD; PBKF; PBKJ; PHU; PHVG; RB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 27. Weight in Grams: 789.
Special functions enable us to formulate a scientific problem by reduction such that a new, more concrete problem can be attacked within a well-structured framework, usually in the context of differential equations. A good understanding of special functions provides the capacity to recognize the causality between the abstractness of the mathematical concept and both the impact on and cross-sectional importance to the scientific reality. The special functions to be discussed in this monograph vary greatly, depending on the measurement parameters examined (gravitation, electric and magnetic fields, deformation, climate observables, fluid flow, etc.) and on the respective field characteristic (potential ...

Reviews for Special Functions of Mathematical (Geo-)Physics
From the book reviews: “This is an erudite and competent book of great value, not only to specialists in the field. It should be very useful for both advanced students and active researchers in the field of geomathematics, geophysics, and geoengineering, and also for geooriented applied mathematicians. The style is superb and clear, and the organization is very well ... Read more
