Title: The book on analysis and special functions
Review: The older I get, the more I realise the truth of what my expert colleagues told me a long time ago: there is ONE book on analysis, and it's called Whittaker and Watson. Shame on CUP for reprinting it in less than perfectly top quality. I guess they know that people will always buy it. It is a book that starts from the very basics of real and complex analysis, and moves on to the very depths of classical special functions. It's a joy to read and to teach from. No respectable mathematical physicist can afford not to own a copy. And it's about 1/4 the price of a typical, low level, textbook.
Is the review positive or negative?
