About this title

Synopsis

Still in print more than a century after its 1902 publication, this historic text by two great mathematicians has inspired generations of students and scholars. The original treatment consists of two parts, The Processes of Analysis and The Transcendental Functions; a final chapter, Ellipsoidal Harmonies and Lane's Equations, was added in 1920. An essential work for students of analysis and historians of mathematics and literature.

About the Author

Edmund Taylor Whittaker (1873-1956) studied mathematics at Trinity College, Cambridge. He became Professor of Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh in 1911 and taught there for the rest of his career, specializing in applied mathematics, mathematical physics, and special functions. George Neale Watson (1886-1965) also studied at Trinity College, Cambridge. From 1914 to 1918 he was a lecturer at University College, London, and in 1918 became Professor of Mathematics at the University of Birmingham.
