Description for Comprehensive Treatment of Q-Calculus Hardback. Addressing the persistently divergent views on notation that have hampered the development of q-calculus theory, this potent new notation method is based on logarithms. The book covers a multitude of q-notation topics and outlines its uses in modern physics. Num Pages: 492 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBH; PBKF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 242 x 160 x 31. Weight in Grams: 884.

To date, the theoretical development of q-calculus has rested on a non-uniform basis. Generally, the bulky Gasper-Rahman notation was used, but the published works on q-calculus looked different depending on where and by whom they were written. This confusion of tongues not only complicated the theoretical development but also contributed to q-calculus remaining a neglected mathematical field. This book overcomes these problems by introducing a new and interesting notation for q-calculus based on logarithms.For instance, q-hypergeometric functions are now visually clear and easy to trace back to their hypergeometric parents. With this new notation it is also easy to see ... Read more

The book covers many topics on q-calculus, including special functions, combinatorics, and q-difference equations. Apart from a thorough review of the historical development of q-calculus, this book also presents the domains of modern physics for which q-calculus is applicable, such as particle physics and supersymmetry, to name just a few.​
