London: Oxford University Press / Clarendon Press, 1947. Very Good EX-LIBRARY. Stamped "WITHDRAWN" on the rear endpaper. Previous owner's small ink name on the front endpaper.

From the author's preface: "The purpose of this book is to give the theory of Mathieu functions and to demonstrate its application to representative problems in physics and engineering science. It has been written for the technologist, and is not addressed in any sense to the pure mathematician." [The author then goes on to request that any criticism from mathematicians concerning the methods of technologists "should be entirely of a constructive and helpful nature." Sounds like a sensitive subject!]. Bibliography. Index. . First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good EX-LIBRARY/No jacket. 8vo. xii, 401pp. Seller Inventory # 006761

Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole.

Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.
