Integration in Finite Terms: Fundamental Sources

ISBN-13: 9783030987695 / Angielski / Miękka / 2023

Opis

This volume gives an up-to-date review of the subject Integration in Finite Terms. The book collects four significant texts together with an extensive bibliography and commentaries discussing these works and their impact. These texts, either out of print or never published before, are fundamental to the subject of the book. Applications in combinatorics and physics have aroused a renewed interest in this well-developed area devoted to finding  solutions of differential equations and, in particular, antiderivatives, expressible in terms of classes of elementary and special functions.
