Synopsis

This textbook provides an elementary introduction to hypergeometric functions, which generalize the usual elementary functions. It includes plenty of solved exercises and it is appropriate for a wide audience, starting from undergraduate students in mathematics, physics and engineering. Since the presented functions are limited to hypergeometric functions of a real variable, the only prerequisites are the basics of real analysis.

About the Author

Daniel Duverney. Born in 1955, Dr. Duverney has taught in highschools and in higher schools for engineering and science preparatory classes. He got his PhD and Habilitation Thesis in the University of Lille. He has written more than 40 research papers (alone or in collaboration with Japanese mathematicians). He has also written three books in French: The first one is an introduction to Number Theory (also translated into Japanese and English), the second (written in collaboration with four colleagues) deals with the mathematical curriculum of the first year of the preparatory classes, and the third book consists in an elementary presentation of hypergeometric functions. All three books include a great number of solved exercises.
