Gil A. Numerical Methods for Special Functions 2007 torrent

Textbook in PDF format

Special functions arise in many problems of pure and applied mathematics, statistics, physics, and engineering. This book provides an up-to-date overview of methods for computing special functions and discusses when to use them in standard parameter domains, as well as in large and complex domains.
The first part of the book covers convergent and divergent series, Chebyshev expansions, numerical quadrature, and recurrence relations. Its focus is on the computation of special functions. Pseudoalgorithms are given to help students write their own algorithms. In addition to these basic tools, the authors discuss methods for computing zeros of special functions, uniform asymptotic expansions, Pade approximations, and sequence transformations. The book also provides specific algorithms for computing several special functions (Airy functions and parabolic cylinder functions, among others)
