Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The subjects treated in this book have been especially chosen to represent a bridge connecting the content of a first course on the elementary theory of analytic functions with a rigorous treatment of some of the most important special functions: the Euler gamma function, the Gauss hypergeometric function, and the Kummer confluent hypergeometric function. Such special functions are indispensable tools in 'higher calculus' and are frequently encountered in almost all branches of pure and applied mathematics. The only knowledge assumed on the part of the reader is an understanding of basic concepts to the level of an elementary course covering the residue theorem, Cauchy's integral formula, the Taylor and Laurent series expansions, poles and essential singularities, branch points, etc.The book addresses the needs of advanced undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics or physics.

About the Author
Prof. Carlo Viola began his scientific activity in 1970. He is interested in various aspects of analytic as well as of geometric number theory, and especially in diophantine approximation. In the decade 1970-1980 he worked on several problems in analytic number theory, with contributions to the theory of diophantine equations, sieve methods, mean values of Dirichlet L-functions. In the 1980’s he was mainly interested in effective diophantine approximation to algebraic numbers. In this field he introduced new multiplicity estimates based on local-to-global analysis of singularities of highly reducible algebraic curves. More recently, he worked on polynomial-exponential diophantine equations, on factorization of lacunary polynomials, on the vanishing multiplicity of linear recurrence sequences, and on diophantine approximation to values of hypergeometric functions and to logarithms and dilogarithms of algebraic numbers. In 1996 he introduced, jointly with G. Rhin, a new algebraic method in the study of arithmetical properties of values of the Riemann zeta-function, consisting in the action of groups of birational transformations and of permutation groups on multiple Euler-type integrals. In 1997 Carlo Viola was the editor of a volume on the arithmetic of elliptic curves with papers by J. Coates, R. Greenberg, K.A. Ribet and K. Rubin, and in 2002 he was co-editor with A. Perelli of a volume on analytic number theory with papers by J.B. Friedlander, D.R. Heath-Brown, H. Iwaniec and J. Kaczorowski, both published in the C.I.M.E. subseries of the Springer Lecture Notes in Mathematics. He was a member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton in the academic year 1980-1981, and a visiting professor at Columbia University in New York in 1987-1988. Since 2002, he is a fellow of the Academy of Sciences in Turin. He received many invitations for research periods and for conferences and workshops in France, USA, Germany, Great Britain, Poland, Sweden, Hungary, Japan, Russia, etc.
Born in Rome, Italy, April 11, 1943.
Assistant professor at the University of Pisa since November 1970.
Full professor at the University of L’Aquila since November 1981.
Full professor at the University of Rome II since November 1983.
Full professor at the University of Pisa since November 1988.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
